Project Management: Deliverables (Definitions)

"An identifiable, required result of a task. Deliverables usually are part of an overall project completion plan." (Microsoft Corporation, "Microsoft SQL Server 7.0 Data Warehouse Training Kit", 2000)

"Any measurable, tangible, verifiable outcome, result, or item that needs to be produced to complete a project or a phase of a project." (Margaret Y Chu, "Blissful Data ", 2004)

"The tangible or intangible work product from a functional team member." (Steven Haines, "The Product Manager's Desk Reference", 2008)

"A work product completed within a project phase by members of a project thread; the defined output of one or more related IT tasks." (Janice M Roehl-Anderson, "IT Best Practices for Financial Managers", 2010)

"Also called product or output, the thing that the project produces (physical thing or event)." (Mike Clayton, "Brilliant Project Leader", 2012)

"Any unique and verifiable product, result, or capability to perform a service that is required to be produced to complete a process, phase, or project." (For Dummies, "PMP Certification All-in-One For Dummies, 2nd Ed.", 2013)

"Any unique and verifiable product, result, or capability to perform a service that must be produced to complete a process, phase, or project.

" (Cynthia Stackpole, "PMP® Certification All-in-One For Dummies®", 2011)

 "Any (work) product that must be delivered to someone other that the (work) product’s author." (Software Quality Assurance)
