Entry and Exit criteria in a project?

Entry and exit criteria are a must for the success of any project. If you do not know from where to start and where to finish then your goals are not clear. By defining exit and entry criteria you define your boundaries. For instance you can define entry criteria that the customer should give the requirement document or acceptance plan. If these entry criteria’s are not met then you will not start the project. On the other end you can also define exit criteria for your project. For instance one of the common exit criteria’s in all project is that customer has successfully executed all the Acceptance Test plan.


Validation and Verification:

difference between validation and verification is that in validation we actually execute the application, while in verification we do review without actually running the application.

 Verifications are basically of two main types

1). Walk-through  2).Inspection.

Walk-through is an informal way of verification. For instance you can call your colleague and do an informal walk-through to just check if the documentation and coding is proper.

Inspection is a formal procedure and official. For instance in your organization you can have an official body which approves design documents for any project. Every project in your organization need to go through an inspection which reviews your design documents. In case there are issues in the design documents then your project will get a NC (Non conformance) list. You can not proceed
ahead with out clearing the NC’s given by the inspection team.
