The Importance of Work Packages (& How to Make Them Effective)

Work packages are essential components of a Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) in project management. A work package is a collection of related tasks, such as mini-projects, that make up a project. They are overseen by a project manager and allow simultaneous work to be carried out, making the team more efficient. Work packages are grouped into related areas and contain essential steps needed to complete the project. Therefore, work packages provide a huge range of benefits, including cost monitoring, simultaneous work, clear identification and delegation of responsibilities and more effective oversight.
