Délivrables

Délivrables, a French term meaning "deliverables," refers to the tangible or intangible goods, services, or results that are produced and provided to a client, stakeholder, or end-user as part of a project or contract. In project management and business contexts, deliverables represent the specific outcomes that are expected upon completion of a phase or the entire project. They are crucial for defining project scope, setting expectations, and measuring progress and success.

These can take many forms, ranging from physical products like manufactured goods or construction structures to digital outputs such as software, reports, or designs. Services can also be considered deliverables, such as consulting, training, or maintenance. Ultimately, a deliverable is the artifact or outcome that fulfills a requirement or solves a problem, and its successful completion signifies the achievement of specific project objectives. Clearly defining and documenting deliverables at the outset of a project is essential for ensuring alignment among all parties involved and for managing expectations regarding quality, quantity, and timeliness. They serve as a benchmark against which the project's performance is evaluated.
