Adding Deliverables
Deliverables are the tangible outputs of your projects—the final designs, documents, or assets you provide to clients. This guide covers how to create and manage deliverables.
What Are Deliverables?
Deliverables differ from tasks:
| Aspect | Tasks | Deliverables |
|---|---|---|
| Purpose | Work to be done | Output to be delivered |
| Visibility | Internal | Often client-facing |
| Tracking | Completion | Approval status |
| Examples | "Design logo concepts" | "Final Logo Package" |
