A project may produce one or more deliverables. Each of these deliverables must be formally accepted. Deliverables acceptance management ensures that these deliverables meet the predefined objectives and criteria outlined in the Deliverables Acceptance Plan, so the project requestor can formally accept them.
Note that final project acceptance takes place in the Closing Phase by the Contracting Authority (CA).
