Entering and Maintaining Deliverables

A deliverable denotes a specific point in a project when something is delivered, such as a milestone being reached, a benefit being achieved, a project gate being reached or a particular document being completed or signed off by a certain date. You can set up as many deliverables as required and flag them as a particular deliverable type to aid searching. Deliverables may be input at any stage in the project and at any level within the project hierarchy.
