Scope matched
Delivered work maps to the agreed scope or approved change record.
Delivery assurance
Implementation Acceptance Standard
“Done” should mean more than deployed. Acceptance connects scope, evidence, testing, documentation, handover and known limitations.
Acceptance criteria
Functional, technical and operational acceptance criteria are explicit and testable.
Evidence retained
Material tests, checks, decisions and known limitations are recorded.
Handover complete
Documentation, credentials/access changes, runbooks and ownership transfer are addressed.
Known issues visible
Open defects, constraints and follow-up actions are not hidden inside a completion statement.
Client acceptance
Where contractual acceptance is required, the exact deliverable/version and approver are recorded.
Benefits baseline preserved
Success at deployment is not confused with realised business benefit; the measurement baseline remains available for later review.
