Phase V: Test and Implement Deliverables

In this phase, the project deliverables are shown to work as planned and are turned over to the sponsor or customer for use. As in Phase IV, the specific activities involved in this phase differ dramatically from one industry or application to another. The defense contractor will likely test and refine the product and manufacturing processes many times prior to full production and deployment. The software producer is likely to run user tests and make revisions prior to delivery to the customer. And the video producer may conduct audience tests of “rough cuts” prior to final editing and delivery to the client.
