Test and Evaluation Documents

Project documents that lay out the tests, inspections, and analyses used to verify the product meets the quality goals defined in the quality management plan.

Key Points

  • Specify how deliverables will be tested and evaluated against quality objectives from the quality management plan.
  • Often include test plans, procedures, test cases, acceptance criteria, data collection methods, and expected results.
  • Provide objective evidence for Control Quality and support acceptance decisions in Validate Scope.
  • Should be traceable to requirements and quality metrics, and kept under version control as the project evolves.

Example

A software project has a quality objective that page loads must be under 2 seconds for 95% of transactions. The test and evaluation documents include a performance test plan, test scripts, data sets, and pass/fail thresholds. Test results are recorded and compared to the objective to confirm whether the product meets the target.

AI Systems with Claude, for Scrum Masters and Project Managers

Most AI pilots in project management do not fail on the model. They fail because somebody pointed the thing at a decision instead of at a task. This course is built around that distinction, and around the work that follows once you get it right.

Eight teaching sections, taught against one running project from the first lecture to the last. You watch a system get built, then you build the same one against your own sprint. Nothing here is a demo that works only on the example.

You finish with five working systems and you keep them. The sprint report machine turns your board export and standup notes into the report you currently write by hand. The retro intelligence system tells you what the team keeps saying, not just what it said this time. The stakeholder comms engine drafts the update in the register the audience expects. The backlog health monitor flags the quiet decay nobody has time to check for. The risk and dependency tracker follows the chains that actually bite.

Seventy-six working files ship with it, across four sections, so every system is built against real sprint data rather than material invented for a slide. Four sprints of retrospectives, board exports, standup notes, backlog and risk data.
