PRINCE2® recommends the following actions for each Work Package in progress:
- Collect and review progress information from the Checkpoint Report for the Work Package being executed:
- Assess the estimated time and effort to complete any unfinished work (including that not yet started)
- Review the Team Plan with the Team Manager (or the milestone extract from it if the commercial environment means it is inappropriate for the Project Manager to see its contents) to ascertain whether work will be completed on time and to budget
- Review entries in the Quality Register to understand the current status of quality management activities
- Confirm that the Configuration Item Record for each product in the Work Package matches its status
- If necessary, update the Risk Register and Issue Register
- Update the Stage Plan for the current stage with actuals to date, forecasts and adjustments.
