Code
Actual code is the primary deliverable of the development phase. All project information and inputs are combined to produce a high-quality application. During the course of coding there may be initial review points and in-line quality assurance execution, as well as code reviews and technical reviews. It is important to note that although code complete is a major milestone deliverable, it is not released at this point, nor is the application complete until the Stabilization Phase has been executed.

Status Report
A Status Report is the project management document that informs the client of the development progress. It contains functionality complete, functionality to be developed next, high-level management issues (to be addressed by the client), project detail issues as well as project timeliness and cost to date.

Updated Project Schedule
This is the Project Schedule control artifact, which is then updated during the Development Phase to show progress. A schedule baseline is kept to track whether the project is on schedule or not.

Change Control Document
This control document can be used to alter what should be developed in the current development cycle. It should be used sparingly as it is relatively expensive at this stage of the development cycle to make changes. A Change Order will contain the new Functional Requirements, what requirements changed and the new functionality, with related Timeline changes and cost changes. Note the Specification document does not get altered from the Planning Phase. Only amended with a Change Order.
