The ____, an output of the define scope process, does document the process and criteria for accepting completed products.

A Statement of Work describes the work a vendor or contractor must perform and is an input to procurement processes, not an output of Define Scope.

A Contract is a legally binding agreement between buyer and seller used in procurement and is unrelated to the Define Scope process output.

The Project Scope Statement is the key output of the Define Scope process in the PMBOK framework. It explicitly documents the project scope description, major deliverables, exclusions, assumptions, constraints, and the criteria used to accept completed products. No other process output consolidates acceptance criteria in this way.

The Project Management Plan is a high-level integrating document covering all subsidiary plans and is not the specific Define Scope output that records acceptance criteria.
