How to Use This Template
List all deliverables upfront
At project kickoff, document every output the project must produce. Agree on this list with the client or stakeholders.
Define acceptance criteria
For each deliverable, write specific, measurable criteria that define "done." This prevents subjective disputes.
Assign owners and deadlines
Every deliverable needs a single owner and a clear due date. Shared ownership leads to no ownership.
Track and get sign-off
Update status regularly. When each deliverable is complete, get formal approval before moving to the next phase.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a deliverable checklist?
A deliverable checklist is a structured list of all outputs a project must produce, along with quality criteria, deadlines, and approval status for each. It ensures nothing is missed during project execution and that every handoff meets the agreed-upon standard.
How do I define quality criteria for deliverables?
For each deliverable, define measurable acceptance criteria: file format, word count, functionality requirements, design specifications, or performance benchmarks. The client or stakeholder should agree to these criteria before work begins.
When should I use a deliverable checklist?
Use a deliverable checklist at the start of any project with multiple outputs. It is especially important for client work, milestone-based contracts, and cross-team projects where handoffs are frequent and expectations must be documented.
How does Dewx track deliverables?
Dewx CX Hub links deliverables to project milestones, assigns owners, sets due dates, and tracks completion status. Dew sends reminders before deadlines and flags overdue items. Clients can review and approve deliverables directly in the system.
