Close a project

- When your project's deliverables are complete, you might think the project is finished. But you have a few activities to perform before you can call the project done. The most important part of closing is getting the customer to agree that the project completed successfully. You want to get acceptance in writing. The best way to do that is to hold a meeting so the customer and stakeholders can sign the acceptance form. The next closing step is to document lessons learned during the project. You can improve the performance of future projects by identifying what worked well, what didn't, and how things can be done better. Third, produce final documentation and a closeout report that sums up the project's performance. Finally, it's time to close contracts. Archive your project information and transition your team to their next assignments. In this chapter, I'll describe each of these activities in more detail.
