Plan and activate work

Turn a scoped agency project into an owned, revision-controlled work package.

Step by step

  1. Define project Public Works Manager

    Public Works Manager confirms the agency, project counterparty and contact before work is assigned. The project is the context for the package, not a substitute for a package owner.

    • Establish the agency, counterparty and responsible person.
    • Updates Organizations, Projects, Team members
  2. Plan package Package Owner

    Package Owner records the subject, due date, budget hours and responsible team member. Add task lines with planned hours, dates and dependencies; move the package from Draft to Planned once the plan is ready.

    • Save scope, hour budget, dates and task sequence.
    • Updates Work packages, Tasks
  3. Activate baseline Public Works Manager

    Public Works Manager checks the revision, owner scope and task dependency order. Starting the package records its start time and moves Planned to Active. A stable operation key ties the attempt to its receipt.

    • Preserve baseline revision and started time.
    • Updates Work packages, Tasks, Operation receipts
Package Owner
Prepares the work; Public Works Manager activates the package; Operations Analyst investigates an uncertain receipt.
