What is an Acceptance Form?
An Acceptance Form helps you gain acceptance from your customer that what you have produced meets their needs. An Acceptance Form lists all of the Acceptance Criteria for gaining their approval, and it documents the results of any acceptance testing carried out. Only once the customer has signed the Acceptance Form have you achieved total customer satisfaction.
When do I use an Acceptance Form?
You use an Acceptance Form to get your customer to agree that what you have produced, meets their needs. For example, in projects, the last step of the life cycle is called user acceptance testing. During this step, testing is carried out and the results are documented on an Acceptance Form. The form lists the Acceptance Criteria and states whether those criteria have been met. The customer signs the Acceptance Form if they are happy with the test results and the project is then considered 100 per cent complete.
