📦 From Concept to Client: How Project Deliverables Are Verified and Accepted 🔄

Ever wondered what happens between creating a deliverable and handing it over to the client?

It’s more than just building something — it’s a structured process that ensures the deliverable is high-quality, aligned with scope, and approved by the client before the project is closed.

Here’s how it works 👇

🛠️ Step 1: Create Deliverables

The project team produces the deliverables based on the project management plan and scope baseline.

✅ Example: A prototype, report, software module, etc.

🕵️ Step 2: Control Quality (CQ)

🔍 The quality control team examines the deliverable against the quality management plan.

If it meets the criteria, it becomes a validated deliverable. If not, a change request is raised — which could include:

• ✅ Corrective actions

• 🛡️ Preventive actions

• 🔧 Defect repairs

Only validated deliverables move forward.

🧪 Step 3: Validate Scope

Now, the validated deliverable goes to the client or sponsor for formal inspection.

If they’re satisfied that it meets the scope baseline and expectations, the deliverable is accepted. Otherwise, more change requests are raised.

🟢 Accepted Deliverable = Good to go.

🔴 Rejected Deliverable = Fixes needed (and re-validation required).

✅ Step 4: Close the Project or Phase

Only accepted deliverables are used to close a project or a phase officially. That’s when success is formally documented.
