# Method Content Package

A Method package is a container for method elements. Elements are organized in method packages to structure a large scale of method content and processes as well as to define a mechanism for reuse. Method elements from one package can reuse elements from other packages by defining a link between them. For example, a work product defined in one package can be used as an input for tasks defined in another package, ensuring that no redundant definitions of the same elements are required. Also, maintenance of method content is greatly improved as changes can be performed in only one place.

#### Structure of a Method Package

Although a method package is a container for method elements, its structure is broken down into smaller packages to better organize the content, such as content packages, standard categories, and custom categories.
