Verified Deliverables
Verified deliverables are completed project deliverables that have been checked and confirmed for correctness through the Control Quality process.
Explanation
Verified deliverables are an output of the Control Quality process in Quality Management. They represent deliverables that have undergone quality inspections, testing, reviews, or audits and have been confirmed to meet the quality requirements and specifications defined for the project. Verification ensures correctness and completeness from a technical standpoint.
Once deliverables are verified through quality control, they become an input to the Validate Scope process, where the customer or sponsor reviews them for formal acceptance. This two-step approach ensures that deliverables are both technically correct (verified) and stakeholder-approved (accepted).
The distinction between verified and accepted deliverables is crucial for exam purposes. Verification is an internal activity performed by the project team (quality control). Validation is an external activity involving the customer or sponsor (scope validation). A deliverable must be verified before it can be validated.
Key Points
- •Output of the Control Quality process
- •Confirmed to meet quality requirements and specifications
- •Input to the Validate Scope process for formal acceptance
- •Verification is internal; validation is external with the customer
Exam Tip
Verified deliverables come from Control Quality. They are then input to Validate Scope to become accepted deliverables. Verification happens before validation.
