Deliverable Map

What it does

• A deliverable is a file, a format and an owner, not a description.
• The map pairs each deliverable with its acceptance rule.
• Anything not on the map is a change order by definition.

How to use it

1. Write the format, including the source file question, before quoting.
2. Name who approves; a committee is not an owner.
3. The acceptance rule should be checkable in one minute.
4. Keep the map on one page; a second page will not be read.

Safety notes

• A deliverable without an owner will be disputed at handover.
• Never include source files by default; price them if they are wanted.
