Perform verification on selected work products.

Verifying work products incrementally promotes early detection of problems and can result in the early removal of defects. The results of verification save the considerable cost of fault isolation and rework associated with troubleshooting problems.

Example Work Products

1.    Verification results

2.    Verification reports

3.    Demonstrations

4.    As-run procedures log

Subpractices

1.    Perform the verification of selected work products against their requirements.

2.    Record the results of verification activities.

3.    Identify action items resulting from the verification of work products.

4.    Document the “as-run” verification method and deviations from established methods and procedures discovered during its performance.
