Any project may be cancelled due to changing corporate priorities or cost constraints. It can even happen to projects that are running perfectly.? If your project is cancelled, here’s what you can do to make the best of the situation.
Note: Be sure to ask management if they plan to reallocate resources to other projects and share what you learn with your project team members.
Have you had a project cancelled? What other steps did you perform to close the project? Did you run into issues trying to close out the cancelled project? Share your experience in the comments section.
