Services - Project Closing Document

Closing the project is often the least favourite process. This is where the project manager reviews the project plan, including authorized changes, and works with the sponsor and the operational teams to formally sign off the project. This stage often includes providing performance feedback to the team, collecting and publishing lessons learned, and celebrating the end of the project.

At the end of a project it is necessary to formally hand over to an operational ownership. You'll find this project closing document a valuable tool when you want to move on to the next project and people are trying to tie you to the old one.
