Validated Deliverables vs Verified Deliverables
Submitted by chullan88 on Mon, 04/28/2014 - 07:50
The deliverables produced from Direct and Manage Project Work goes through Control Quality process.This in turn gives Validated deliverables.
In the Validate Scope process we see Verified deliverables as an input to give the accepted deliverables.Qn.1 Is this the same Validated deliverables from Control Quality??
Qn.2 Rita's process chart,in the M&C process group talks about gaining acceptance of interim deliverables from customer.Is this the Validate Scope process??Is this done by the stakeholders because it is validation(acceptance by sponsor)??

Control Quality is internal
Control Quality is internal process but Accepting Deliverables involves client. So they are not same.
Yes if you take acceptance from client it will be Validate Scope process and it can be for interim deliverables also.

The deliverables produced
The deliverables produced from Direct and Manage Project Work goes through Control Quality process.This in turn gives Validated deliverables.
Saket : This was a problem with PMBOK 4, now PMBOK 5 clearly says that Quality Control should produce Verified Deliverable.
In the Validate Scope process we see Verified deliverables as an input to give the accepted deliverables.
Saket : This statement is right, Verified Deliverable is an input and Accepted or Validated Deliverables are output of Validate Scope.
Qn.1 Is this the same Validated deliverables from Control Quality??
Saket : No , its verified.
Qn.2 Rita's process chart,in the M&C process group talks about gaining acceptance of interim deliverables from customer. Is this the Validate Scope process??Is this done by the stakeholders because it is validation(acceptance by sponsor)??
Saket: Yes
Glossary Definition from PMBOK Guide
Validation. The assurance that a product, service, or system meets the needs of the customer and other identified stakeholders. It often involves acceptance and suitability with external customers. Contrast with verification.
Verification. The evaluation of whether or not a product, service, or system complies with a regulation, requirement, specification, or imposed condition. It is often an internal process. Contrast with validation.
