Definition
An Output is a product, service, item of information or other result produced by performing a Process.
Human Explanation
An Output is the result of process work passed to the next stage or the final recipient.
Why it Matters
Process Quality is assessed primarily through the quality of its results and their conformity with Requirements.
Conceptual Boundary
An Output may become the Input to another Process, so its Quality affects the performance of the entire System.
Practical Perspective
Process design should begin by defining the expected Outputs and then the Inputs and activities required to produce them.
