Where work has been allocated to individuals or teams, these should be a matching confirmation that the work has been completed.
This sub-process records the successful completion and return of Work Packages from Delivering a Work Package (MP3).
This information is then passed to Assessing Progress (CS2).
Confirmation is sought that the Work Package has been completed satisfactorily.
This includes checking that:
Any approvals defined as part of the Acceptance Criteria are checked to ensure they are in order.
The Configuration Item Record is updated to change the status to completed.
The completed, accepted product is now baselined (if this hasn’t already been done during CS2, as a result of information received from Executing a Work Package (MP2) when the product passed its quality review – this is more likely when a Work Package consists of multiple products).
Any subsequent changes to the product must pass through change control.
This would be an automatic part of any configuration management method being used.
The Project Manager is responsible for this sub-process, assisted by any appointed Project Support staff.
The team member or Team manager responsible for completion of the Work Package will provide information.
The Configuration Librarian will update Configuration Item Records as required.
Management information | Usage | Explanation |

These are given in tabular form in the file ‘CS9 receiving completed work package.doc’ in the product package.
There is a close link between the management information requirements of this process and the technical requirements of any configuration management methods being used in receiving and recording completion data.
The configuration management method will also take charge of the product of the Work Package and be responsible for its storage – see configuration management.
