You can link work packages to the projects or project tasks that represent the implementation details for delivering the work. You assign, schedule, and accumulate costs for the performing organization resources from the project and its tasks. Baseline and earned value (EV) metrics are aggregated from the project tasks into the work package based on their association to the work package. Earned value is reported on the scheduled work delivered by the control account.
You establish the link from the work package to the project or tasks. You can view the EV data in the Earned Value Management section of the properties page.
You can link the work package to the project if you are only concerned with top level metrics, or you can separate your work package deliverables into separate tasks on a project.
Important! If you link a work package to a project, do not link the project tasks or subprojects to other work packages. The project aggregates and rolls up all its tasks and subproject metrics to its linked work package.
