This page identifies and defines the deliverables typically produced during the course of a project whose purpose is to develop and implement an information system.

An information system is a collection of interrelated components that input, process, store and output information needed to complete some tasks or achieve some goals.
As long as it inputs data, does something with that data and generates some new data, it is an information system.
Any system, whether it is an information system or a transportation system such as an automobile, is used by people to accomplish certain tasks, in various ways, while satisfying or abiding by certain needs or requirements of those people or of the environments in which they operate.
Those environments, in which information systems are used, can vary greatly from one system to another, in terms of their respective scope. That scope can, for example, cover an entire organization, or a specific department or service of an organization, or a single business task such as the processing of claims.
Here, then, are those deliverables:
