Accepted Deliverables

Work products that satisfy the user story acceptance criteria and are formally approved by the Product Owner. Once approved, they are treated as accepted deliverables and may be released to customers at the Product Owner's discretion.

Key Points

  • They must meet all defined user story acceptance criteria.
  • The Product Owner provides the formal approval (acceptance) after review.
  • Acceptance makes the deliverable eligible for release, but release timing is a business decision.
  • Evidence of acceptance often includes passing tests, a successful demo, and documented sign-off or status change.

Example

In a sprint review, the team demonstrates the "one-click checkout" user story. All acceptance criteria (tax calculation, saved address selection, and confirmation page) are met. The Product Owner marks the story as accepted and moves it to "Ready for Release," to be included in the next deployment.

PMP Example Question

In an Agile project, what best describes an accepted deliverable?

  1. A feature the Scrum Master confirms meets the Definition of Done.
  2. Work the Product Owner approves because it meets the acceptance criteria, making it eligible for release.
  3. An increment deployed to staging with no critical defects.
  4. A user story completed with development and unit testing finished.

Correct Answer: B — Deliverables approved by the Product Owner after meeting acceptance criteria

Explanation: Acceptance is the Product Owner's decision based on the agreed acceptance criteria; completion, DoD, or deployment alone does not equal acceptance.

ICS/OT Cybersecurity Fundamentals — Security Built for Industrial Systems

Industrial control systems cannot be secured like ordinary IT. A forced reboot, aggressive scan, or incompatible patch can interrupt production and create real safety consequences. Effective OT security begins with understanding the systems, constraints, and risks unique to industrial environments.

This course gives IT professionals, engineers, operators, and security practitioners a practical foundation in ICS threats, zone and conduit design, risk assessment, passive asset visibility, and vendor evaluation. You will learn how IEC 62443, NIST CSF, and MITRE ATT&CK for ICS apply where availability and safety come first.

Eight reconstructed incidents—including Stuxnet, Triton, Ukraine 2015, Colonial Pipeline, and PIPEDREAM—show how attackers move through OT environments, what they target, and which defenses could have changed the outcome.

Watch the course preview, then build the vocabulary, frameworks, and judgment needed to take credible first steps in ICS/OT cybersecurity.

Build an ICS/OT cybersecurity foundation that fits the real environment

Standard IT controls can disrupt the industrial systems they are meant to protect. Learn how to assess OT risk, design zones and conduits, apply IEC 62443 security levels, use MITRE ATT&CK for ICS, and establish passive asset visibility without risking production. Eight reconstructed incidents connect attacker techniques to the controls that failed, giving you the vocabulary and judgment to make credible security decisions from day one.
