Product

An output created by the project that can be measured or counted. It may be the final item delivered or a component of a larger whole. Products are often called materials or goods. Related term: deliverable.

Key Points

  • A product is a quantifiable item produced by project work, either standalone or part of a bigger item.
  • Common synonyms include materials and goods; a product is the thing produced, while a deliverable is what is promised to a stakeholder.
  • Products carry requirements, specifications, and acceptance criteria and are managed through configuration control.
  • Products often appear in the WBS as nouns and may be assembled from multiple component products.

Example

On a construction project, a prefabricated steel beam is a product. Many such beams, plus fasteners and panels (also products), are assembled into the final structure that is delivered to the client.
