Define Work Completion: Distinguish Required Quality from Extra Refinements

Summary

Learn to define completion with recipient needs, distinguish necessary fixes from refinements, assign review ownership, and improve criteria after delivery.

Published

Assess Completion against Required Quality

Assess completion against required quality. Casual acceptance and endless polishing can both miss the delivery purpose.

Specify what the recipient needs, including accuracy and safety. Allocate extra refinements according to their effect and the deadline.

Define Completion for Each Task

For a public page, include prices, contact details, and working links. GOV.UK describes acceptance criteria as completion outcomes. (GOV.UK: User stories)

Specify the reviewer and current reference materials.

Distinguish Necessary Fixes from Refinements

A wrong price needs correction. Additional photos or decoration should be assessed against reader needs and time.

Repeated revisions call for revised work sequencing or clearer criteria.

Use Post-Delivery Gaps to Improve Criteria

Record missing explanations found through enquiries. Add relevant requirements for future deliveries.

Update public descriptions against completion criteria and actual scope.
