On what basis is the acceptance plan prepared?

Answer

In any project the acceptance document is normally prepared using the following inputs. This can vary from company to company and from project to project.

1. Requirement document: This document specifies what exactly is needed in the project from the customers perspective.
2. Input from customer: This can be discussions, informal talks, emails, etc.
3. Project plan: The project plan prepared by the project manager also serves as good input to finalize your acceptance test.
