Evaluate the quality of the product/outcome against the success criteria
For this step, you will use the criteria your created in the Planning stage to evaluate your final product.
This step is not about demonstrating that you met all the criteria. It is your ability to evaluate in an unbiased manner.
Be honest about the extent to which you achieved your criteria
Give specific details and evidence to justify your evaluation of your product/outcome
Consider the feedback you received from others (surveys, test, etc.)
