    Work packaging defined: from a project control mechanism to a project planning mechanism

    The concept of breaking down projects into manageable work packages is one of the fundamental concepts of the Project Management body of knowledge and the execution theory. Early major work packaging research focused on project control, examining the coding relationship of work packages to time, cost, and people as represented by the work breakdown structure (WBS), organizational breakdown structure (OBS), and cost breakdown structure (CBS). The Project Management Institute (
