The work package to produce the 'updated corporate quality procedures' was created during stage 3. Before accepting the work package, the team manager produces the team plan and finds that the expected delivery date is unrealistic. As a result, the project manager agrees an extra two weeks to complete the work package, within the current stage tolerance. The work package is then accepted by the team manager.
Is this an appropriate application of the 'manage product delivery' process, and why?
The process described in the question aligns with the principles of the 'manage product delivery' process. The team manager is responsible for planning and executing the work package and should agree on the limits within which the work is to be completed. Since the extra time required still falls within the current stage tolerance, there is no need for further authorization, making the acceptance of the work package appropriate.
Agreed. B. Yes, because the team manager should agree the limits within which the work is to be completed.
