Build Your Action Plan

Once all the phases of the project are completed, the project manager needs to ensure the formal acceptance and ending of the project. At this stage, project managers and teams are responsible for archiving all the files and documenting lessons learned.
The closing phase consists of:
  • Contract closure including the resolution of any open items and the closing of each contract applicable to the project or project phase
  • Project closure to finalize all activities across all processes to formally close the project or a project phase
Closing also includes a Post Implementation Review phase. This is a vital phase of the project for the project team to learn from experiences and apply lessons learned to future projects.

A project is complete when it starts working for you, rather than you working for it. Scott Allen
