To ensure the acceptance of deliverables, it is crucial for the project manager to review the approved exit criteria for the product. This involves confirming that the product meets the agreed-upon requirements and quality standards, which are essential for customer satisfaction and formal acceptance. The exit criteria provide a clear and objective way to measure the deliverable's readiness for deployment and acceptance by the customer. By reviewing these criteria, the project manager can address any concerns the customer may have regarding the quality of the product delivery, thus facilitating a smooth transition to production deployment1.
