For example, in a software development project, the software code is the deliverable. In a project to develop and implement a BYOD Policy (Bring Your Own Device), the documented policy is the deliverable.

A furlough is when an employer places an employee into temporary non-duty, non-pay status because of budget issues, lack of work, or other non-disciplinary reasons. Furloughs may be voluntary or mandatory and are different from normal layoffs because employees continue to work on a reasonably regular basis.
Congress authorized back pay for all furloughed federal workers. Furloughs peaked at about 850,000 the first week of October, Burwell said. About 400,000 civilian military workers were called back to work the following week. The White House Council of Economic Advisors already had estimated the shutdown cost 120,000 private sector jobs and would reduce fourth-quarter economic output by 0.2 to 0.6 percentage points.
