An Operational Definition of Entry/Exit Criteria
Operationally, Entry/Exit Criteria can be determined by asking about the completeness and accuracy of the process input/output.
Completeness is the set of statements defining all of the items that make up a finished document.
Accuracy, the standards of acceptance, is a combination of:
- the definitive source of information, conditions, or rules for data found in the document (content).
- how that information is to be formatted or depicted (form).
The purpose of exit criteria is to define quality.
Without a definition of quality, quality cannot be measured.
