What term describes the conditions agreed upon with stakeholders that allow a process to be officially completed?

The term that describes the conditions agreed upon with stakeholders that allow a process to be officially completed is "exit criteria." Exit criteria are specific conditions that must be met before a project phase, task, or process can be considered finished. They ensure that all necessary work has been completed and that the quality standards or other requirements set forth at the beginning of a project have been upheld. This agreement with stakeholders is critical to maintaining transparency and aligning expectations throughout the project lifecycle.

In contrast, entry criteria refer to the conditions that must be satisfied before starting a particular phase or task, setting the stage for work to begin. Approval criteria typically pertain to the requirements needed for stakeholders to formally sign off on deliverables, but they are not specifically used to determine when a process is complete. The term "end conditions" is less commonly used and does not specifically relate to formal agreements with stakeholders regarding completion criteria. Thus, exit criteria are the most appropriate term in this context.
