Project closure

Closure is the final phase of the project life cycle.

Closure requires the consolidation of communications with team and stakeholders.

Closure requires feedback and to capture the learning experiences gained.

Some key questions in this phase:

  • Were the original objectives of the project delivered?
  • What do I have to measure?
  • How do I get and offer feedback?

Wrap-up:

  • obtaining project acceptance
  • finalising and terminating resources
  • de-establishing the team
  • capturing remaining costs and closing project related accounts
  • compiling a final project reports

Evaluating project success:

  • assessing, verifying and documenting project results
  • measure the performance of the project team

Capture lessons learned

Reward the effort, the team and the contributors
