Validate Scope process purpose?

• A. Create acceptance criteria.
• B. Update risk register.
• C. Obtain formal acceptance of completed deliverables from customer or sponsor.
• D. Rework rejected deliverables.

Answer: (C)

Validate Scope is about obtaining formal acceptance of the completed deliverables from the customer or sponsor. This formal sign-off confirms that what was delivered meets the agreed requirements and is complete, allowing the work to be officially accepted and move toward closure. It creates a documented agreement that the scope has been satisfied and helps prevent future disputes over what was delivered. If deliverables don’t meet acceptance criteria, the process can generate change requests to address deficiencies before acceptance. Creating acceptance criteria happens earlier in planning, updating the risk register is part of risk management, and reworking deliverables is a potential outcome if something isn’t accepted, not the primary purpose of this process.
