Work packages

The Project Manager opens a package for a defined room or design deliverable, sets its subject, budgeted hours and due date, and names the owner. The project link keeps the client site visible. The revision and baseline revision distinguish the accepted plan from a later change. Status shows whether the package is being drafted, planned, active, under review, accepted or cancelled.

Before work starts, the Project Manager checks that the package points to the intended client project and that its owner belongs to the same organization. The record number is the reference the team can use in a review conversation. Baseline the current revision before moving from planned to active work; a later scope change needs its own successor revision and an independent decision.

• Define one unit of work. Give the package a subject, due date, budgeted hours and a named owner.
• Confirm the baseline. Keep the revision and baseline revision with the planned task lines before work starts.
• Preserve history. When scope changes, revise future work while leaving completed task lines and the original package identity available.

Agree the size of a package before the pilot. A room concept and an entire site fit different review cycles; choose a unit that the Reviewer can inspect with clear evidence. Decide who may revise a plan, who can cancel it, and what happens to completed task lines. Use a stable record number for references shared with the client.

Choose a package size that the Reviewer can assess with clear evidence. Agree who may baseline, change or cancel a package and how a stale revision is rejected. Decide how the Project Manager distinguishes unaccepted future work from completed task effects. The team should use the same record number in room evidence and review discussions.

Take a room concept from draft planning to active work. Add task lines, attach its current mood board and put it into review. Confirm that the reviewer sees the same revision the designer prepared. If the client changes scope after task work begins, preserve the completed lines and request a reviewed successor revision.

Plan a living-room concept with task lines and a due date. Start the current baseline, then ask the Designer to complete one task. Have the client request a new concept before the remaining tasks begin. The Project Manager prepares a successor revision for the future work and asks an independent Reviewer to approve it. Confirm the finished task and earlier decision remain visible. Try a conflicting retry under the same operation key and check that it creates no second effect.

• Work package register — Owner, project, due date, hours and current package status.
• Packages awaiting review — Current revisions waiting for a Reviewer decision.

Plan the package, then review delivery. For a changed plan, use change and reconciliation.
