A single work package has been created for the products of stage 2 and a team manager appointed for the whole work package. The team manager has split the work package into multiple smaller work packages for each product to be delivered in stage 2. The 'managing product delivery' process activities have been tailored so that the lower-level team managers report to the higher-level team manager.
Is this an appropriate application of the 'managing product delivery' process, and why?
This is an appropriate application of the 'managing product delivery' process because for large work packages, it is common practice for a team manager to create a hierarchy of smaller work packages. This approach helps to allocate the work more efficiently among team members and ensures better management and monitoring of progress. A higher-level team manager can coordinate the efforts of lower-level team managers who are responsible for the smaller work packages, thereby maintaining control and oversight of the entire work package as a whole.
In this case, option A is the most appropriate choice because it recognizes that for larger work packages, it is common practice to break them down into smaller, more manageable work packages to improve efficiency and delegation within the team.
