Delivery management - Concept
Workstream
A defined strand of work within a larger project or programme, usually owned by a particular team
What's it for?
Splits a large programme or project into manageable areas with clear ownership.
For example…
An ERP programme has finance, HR, data migration and training workstreams, each with its own lead and plan
A large office move has separate workstreams for property, staff communications, equipment and moving teams into the new building
Think of it like…
Lanes in a swimming pool: same race, separate swimmers, shared finish line
