What is a key output in project management?

• A. Risk Register
• B. Deliverables (system, building, service)
• C. Project Charter
• D. Quality Plan

Answer: (B)

Deliverables are the main outputs produced by a project—the tangible or measurable results the project aims to deliver to meet its objectives and satisfy stakeholders. These can be a new system, a building, a service, or any finished product or result that someone will use or accept. The whole purpose of the project is to produce these deliverables and to have them verified against defined acceptance criteria. Tools and artifacts like the risk register, the project charter, and the quality plan play important supporting roles but aren’t the end products delivered to the customer. The risk register documents potential risks and responses to manage uncertainty; the project charter authorizes the project and sets its high-level direction; the quality plan describes how quality will be achieved and verified. These help guide and govern the work, but the actual deliverables are what the project is judged by and what gets handed over to the sponsor or users.
