Definition Deliverable. Description.

A Deliverable is any tangible outcome that is produced by a task, project or program. It is any tangible, measurable output. Examples are: documents, reports, plans, computer systems, a building, etc. Another word for it is product.

Two kinds of deliverables can be distinguished (as per Prince2 terminology):

Specialist Product, i.e. an intended result of project work, such as:
- Installed software.
- Erected buildings.
- Trained people.
Management Product, i.e. (usually) a document used to manage the project, such as:
- Business case.
- Project plan.
- Reports.

Internal deliverables are produced as a consequence of executing the project, and are usually only needed by the project team. External deliverables are those that are created for clients and stakeholders.
