Result

An output produced by executing project management processes and tasks. Results include achieved changes (for example, a completed systems integration, an updated process, an organizational restructure, executed tests, or trained staff) as well as documented artifacts (such as policy documents, management plans, analyses, procedures, specifications, or reports). See also deliverable.

Key Points

  • Results are outputs created by performing project management processes and activities.
  • They can be tangible changes or achievements (e.g., training completed, tests run) or documented artifacts (e.g., plans, reports).
  • Not every result is a deliverable; deliverables are results intended for formal acceptance or handoff.
  • Results can be interim or final and help guide decisions, compliance, and performance tracking.

Example

After conducting a risk review in Monitor Risks, the team updates the risk register and issues a revised risk report. These documents are results of project management work, while the product feature being built is a deliverable.

PMP Example Question

Which of the following is the best example of a result produced by project management activities?

  1. An updated risk register and risk report created after a risk review
  2. A working feature released to end users
  3. A government regulation the team must comply with
  4. A stakeholder need recorded in the business case

Correct Answer: A — An updated risk register and risk report

Explanation: These are documents generated by a project management process (Monitor Risks). The working feature is a product deliverable, the regulation is an external EEF, and the business case item is a pre-project business document.

ICS/OT Incident Response Drills and Exercises

An incident response plan is only a theory until the people who must use it have run it under pressure. This course helps OT engineers, operations leaders, IT responders, and security teams turn a plan on paper into a tested capability.

Define safe states and manual fallback before an incident forces the decision. Build escalation paths, tabletop exercises, and scenarios that expose the gaps a document review cannot find.

Then turn the results into evidence: an after-action report, owned improvements, recovery checks, and a drill cadence that keeps the program alive after the exercise ends.

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.
