Model delivery is the act of passing a model over to the end user. This happens at various stages during the build process.

There are various strategic moments when this is best done and certainly moments when it is not best done. In general it is better to lower delivery expectations by adding some delay rather than delivering a sub-standard product. However, this is something that comes with experience.

There are three main model delivery events in the production of a UK PFI project finance operating model, listed and described here:

1 Shadow delivery

2 Update delivery

3 Final delivery.

During each of these delivery events the model will undergo a whole raft of ongoing tests during the build and also pre-delivery tests. It is also important that the client carries out end-user acceptance testing after Update delivery. The topic of testing will be dealt with in greater detail in a future eBook.
