Work Package

A work package is a defined set of actions—projects or programs—addressing specific gaps to move from baseline toward target architecture. Work packages include objectives, dependencies, resource estimates, and success measures. They bridge architecture planning and portfolio execution.

In Practice

Larkinized LLC sizes work packages for incremental value delivery rather than monolithic big-bang programs when possible. Package definitions reference affected capabilities, applications, and data entities for traceability. ARB and PMO gates align to package boundaries.

Example

A work package delivers API façade and strangler migration for a monolithic billing system over six releases.
