Create functional work packages for the WBS using the RAM

Each WBS work package includes work packages for each function responsible for completing the task. A functional work package (FWP) contains the following information:

• Responsible functional organization
• Cost estimates to perform the work
• Deliverables, including scope of work
• Related data, for example, policies and procedures documents

Create functional work packages for a WBS work package as follows:

Procedure

1. Select one or multiple WBS work packages and then click RAM.

   The RAM that is used to identify the intersection of WBS work elements is displayed along with the organization breakdown elements for which a functional work package is to be created. The columns of the matrix show the WBS work packages you selected. Each row corresponds to an organization to which you can assign work.

   If you created the WBS from the common WBS, the organizations are copied from those on the common WBS.

2. Click (check) one or more cells in the matrix, and choose Add at the top of the matrix to create FWPs.

   Tip: Easily locate the organizations of interest in the following ways:

   • Filter the OBS list by clicking in the table header and using the resulting Search box.
   • Use the arrows to expand and collapse the hierarchical OBS structure.

   The system assigns each WBS work package to one or more assignees.
