Build Deliverables – International Business Management Institute

This phase requires the physical construction of each deliverable for acceptance by the customer. The actual activities undertaken to construct each deliverable will vary, depending on the type of project (e.g. engineering, building development, computer infrastructure or business process re-engineering projects).

Deliverables may be constructed in:

a waterfall fashion (where each activity is undertaken in sequence until the deliverable is finished) or
an iterative/agile fashion (where iterations of each deliverable are constructed until the deliverable meets the requirements of the customer).

Most software projects use an iterative approach in order to reduce risk and include more customer feedback. Regular iterations of work, which includes the testing and reviews by stakeholders every two weeks (often referred to as “sprints”) do help to keep a project on track.

Regardless of the method used to construct each deliverable, careful monitoring and control processes should be employed to ensure that the quality of the final deliverable meets the acceptance criteria set by the customer.

Building deliverables is an essential part of the execution phase.
