-Work Product represents the artifact, outcome or a deliverable created or consumed during the process. In the overall context of a process, a work product progresses through various states due to increased maturity or added content. This change in state can happen within a workflow or through the course of different workflows during the product or program lifecyle. For example, a work product like 'Software Project Plan' would typically go through change in states like 'draft', 'under review', and 'approved' in a software engineering process.+Work Product represents the artifact, outcomeor a deliverable created or consumed during the process.
