Deliverables
Candlefocus EditorOne of the important components of successful project planning and management, is setting realistic and achievable deliverables. This may include task-oriented goals such as developing a website, writing a book, or launching a new product. As the project progresses, these goals should be monitored, evaluated and adjusted as needed.
When preparing for a project, project teams should list, type and define all of their deliverables. This will allow them to establish a timeline, as well as budget and allocate resources accordingly. In addition, it can help project teams make informed decisions about the necessary personnel and materials.
In addition to tangible items, deliverables should also include any associated documentation. This includes reports, instructions, guidelines and any other information intended to explain the deliverable's intended use. This documentation should be easy to understand, follow a logical storyboard, and should include any technical details that may be necessary to complete the deliverable.
Deliverables are essential to the success of any project. They should be monitored and tracked regularly throughout the project to ensure that nothing goes awry. When properly managed, deliverables can ensure a project's successful completion. By providing a tangible goal and sense of accomplishment, deliverables can be a valuable tool for motivating a project team and keeping stakeholders informed of progress. For this reason, effectively managing or completing deliverables is an important task for any project manager.
