Working Deliverables Agreement

A policy that a deliverable is officially accepted only after it meets its defined acceptance criteria and the customer or sponsor provides formal business approval and signs off.

Key Points

  • Acceptance criteria are defined and testable before work is performed.
  • Formal approval authority rests with the customer or sponsor, not the project team.
  • Sign-off is documented and indicates the deliverable is ready for release or integration.
  • In agile, this happens repeatedly at reviews or demos for each increment or iteration.

Example

During a sprint review for a new login feature, the product owner verifies that all acceptance criteria are met (multi-factor prompt, error handling, lockout after failed attempts). The sponsor provides formal sign-off in the tracking tool, marking the feature as accepted and ready for deployment.

  4. It specifies the tools used for defect tracking and reporting.

Correct Answer: B — Deliverables meeting acceptance criteria receive formal approval and sign-off.

Explanation: The agreement emphasizes that only deliverables that satisfy predefined acceptance criteria are formally accepted by the customer or sponsor.
