Deliverable

A distinct and verifiable output, such as a product, a result, or a service capability, that must be created to complete a process, phase, or the entire project.

Key Points

  • Must be unique and measurable against defined acceptance criteria.
  • Can be interim or final, and may be internal or external to the organization.
  • Captured in the scope baseline and WBS with clear ownership and completion criteria.
  • Validated and formally accepted to confirm scope completion and enable closure.

Example

In a software implementation project, a signed-off requirements specification, a tested and deployable release package, user training materials, and an operational support runbook are deliverables that must be produced and verified before the phase or project can close.
