8.1.2.1 Acceptance/Rejection Criteria*
A formal acceptance or rejection of completed deliverables helps ensure quality and accountability. The agreed-upon set of acceptance/rejection criteria provides an objective method for the Product Owner to set expectations and assess completed deliverables for acceptance or rejection.
This process may involve a review by the Product Owner, a technical evaluation, or a customer acceptance test. By establishing clear acceptance criteria and a formal review process, teams can ensure that only high-quality deliverables are accepted.
