What you’ll find

Deliverables are the concrete outputs of working-group activity: specifications, guidance, reference software, test assets, reports, training or recommendations. Each should have an owner, status, licence, version and review path.

Choose the right route

1. Definition

State audience, problem, scope, acceptance criteria and dependencies before substantial work begins.

2. Review

Use technical and editorial reviewers, record decisions and address cross-group impacts.

3. Release

Publish version, status, licence, source, change history, maintenance owner and issue route.

How to use this page

An explicit deliverable turns discussion into an artefact that adopters can inspect, implement or test.

Check before relying on an item

A working draft, approved Alliance output and external standard have different authority. Label each deliverable accurately.

Use the live charter, project record or published output for current status. Name owners and dates for work in progress.

For the output you need, verify its status and owner; if it does not exist, propose a scoped deliverable rather than an open-ended topic.
