Group decisionmaking
techniques
Once the stakeholders have inspected the deliverables,
they’ll need to decide whether or not the deliverables
can be accepted
This is where the stakeholders actually look closely at the

Verified deliverables
If the team did the work right, then the stakeholders will
formally accept the deliverables (which means they do it in
writing).
