Deliverable

From WikiMD's Wellnesspedia

Deliverable is a term used in project management to describe a tangible or intangible good or service produced as a result of a project that is intended to be delivered to a customer (either internal or external). A deliverable could be a report, a document, a server upgrade or any other building block of an overall project.

Definition[edit | edit source]

A deliverable is a measurable, tangible, verifiable outcome, result, or item that must be produced to complete a project or part of a project. Often used in project management, deliverables are the results of tasks or a work packages which are often specified functions or characteristics of the project. Deliverables can be produced for internal or external stakeholders and can be part of the project's outputs or administrative-related outputs (i.e., project management or project reviews).

Types of Deliverables[edit | edit source]

Deliverables can be classified into two types:

  1. Project Deliverables: These are the deliverables which the project is intended to produce, and which are to be delivered to the external customer or sponsor. Examples include the project's output, such as a new software application.
  2. Management Deliverables: These are deliverables that are required for managing the project and include project plans, risk assessments, time schedules, and budget plans.

Importance of Deliverables[edit | edit source]

Deliverables are an important part of the project management process. They help to define the scope of the project, provide a basis for decision making, and help to control project progress. They also provide a basis for performance measurement and project control.
