Deliverable
Any unique, verifiable product, result, or capability produced to complete the project.
A deliverable is any unique, verifiable product, result, or capability that must be produced to complete a process, phase, or the project as a whole. Deliverables can be internal (a design document, a test plan) or external (software handed to a client), and they feed into the Validate Scope process, where the customer formally accepts them against documented acceptance criteria. The key exam distinction is deliverable versus milestone: a deliverable is a tangible output, while a milestone marks the completion of a significant event and has zero duration. Always ask whether the output is something produced or simply a point in time reached.
