toimitettava

Toimitettava is a Finnish term used primarily in project management, procurement, and contractual contexts. It refers to a deliverable, a concrete output or result that is produced as part of a project and must be delivered to a client, stakeholder, or end user. Deliverables can be tangible products, services, or documentation, and they are typically defined at the planning stage together with acceptance criteria and delivery deadlines. As an adjective, toimitettava describes items that are intended to be delivered, as in toimitettava ohjelmistopäivitys or toimitettava raportti.

Deliverables can be categorized in several ways. Product deliverables include software, hardware, or prototypes; documentation deliverables include specifications, user manuals, or test reports; and process deliverables include project plans, risk registers, or training materials. They can be external, delivered to a customer or client, or internal, used within the organization to support other work. The concept is closely linked to scope, requirements, and contractual terms.

In practice, toimitettavat are specified in project documents such as the scope statement or requirements specification and linked to acceptance criteria, quality standards, and a delivery schedule. They are tracked in a deliverables register or backlog and are subject to change control. The management of deliverables emphasizes traceability from a stated need to a verified final output and often involves formal acceptance testing and sign-off.

The term is standard in Finnish business and public procurement language. It is used in various inflections and forms, such as toimitettava, toimitettavat, and toimitettavien, depending on grammatical context.
