The accepted

Seams the organisation has decided not to close — recorded explicitly, so they stop being raised at every review.

The deliverable

What it is

Some seams are not worth closing. Accepting them explicitly saves the effort of re-arguing them and allows attention to go elsewhere.

An accepted seam should still be mitigated where possible: a warning, a signpost or an apology costs almost nothing and changes how it is experienced.

A seam the customer was warned about is experienced very differently from the same seam unannounced.
