The Single Truth about software development is that there is only one deliverable: working software.

  I would take that one step further and say the only deliverable is satisfied customers.

    I would take that further and say the only deliverable is profit. Or more VC :)

  True story: was once asked by the co-founder of a company to sabotage the project I was working on. "Drive a horse and cart through it" were his precise words. So for my team, the deliverable was working software. The co-founder wanted another deliverable altogether.

  That still requires to specify what is a "working software".
