We’ve all seen it:
A project produces a mountain of documents that no one ever opens again.
They sit in a folder, untouched, until someone asks for “evidence of compliance.”
That’s not what deliverables are meant to be.
Myth 11: “Deliverables are just documents for compliance.”
This myth drains energy and wastes effort.
Deliverables aren’t meant to gather dust.
They’re meant to guide decisions and actions.
I’ve seen the difference:
👉 In a logistics system overhaul, the architecture views weren’t static reports.
They were kept up to date.
Three different vendors used them to avoid integration errors.
That saved weeks of rework — and real money.
The QTAM Difference
The Quick Technical Architecture Method (QTAM) treats deliverables as living tools.
- Updated as the work evolves
- Used to align stakeholders
- Referenced in daily decisions
- Focused on what drives outcomes, not paperwork
This way, deliverables stay useful throughout the project — not just at the end.
Why It Matters
When deliverables are alive, teams:
- Make faster, better decisions
- Stay aligned across vendors and stakeholders
- Avoid costly mistakes and rework
When deliverables are treated as “compliance paperwork,” none of that happens.
Take the Next Step
Don’t let your deliverables gather dust.
