Major Tasks of Project Closure
1. Evaluate if the project delivered the expected

• Was the project managed well?
• Was the customer satisfied?
1. Assess what was done wrong and what
contributed to successes.
2. Identify changes to improve
the delivery of future projects.
Project Closure
 Types of Project
Closure
 Normal
 Premature
 Perpetual
 Failed Project
 Changed Priority
 Close-out Plan:
Questions to be
Asked
 What tasks are
required to close the
project?
 Who will be
responsible for these
tasks?
 When will closure
begin and end?
 How will the project
be delivered?
Closure
1. Getting delivery acceptance from the customer.
2. Shutting down resources and releasing to new uses.
3. Reassigning project team members.
4. Closing accounts and seeing all bills are paid.

and the project manager.
Wrap-up Closure Checklist
Creating the Final Report
 Executive Summary
 Project goals met/unmet
 Stakeholder satisfaction
with project
 User reactions to quality
of deliverables
 Analysis
 Project mission and
objective
 Procedures and
systems used
 Organization resources
used
 Recommendations
 Technical improvements
 Corrective actions
 Lessons Learned
 Reminders
 Retrospectives
 Appendix
 Backup data
 Critical information
Project Performance
Evaluations
 Reasons for Poor-Quality Project Performance
Evaluations:
 Evaluations of individuals are left to supervisors
of the team member’s
home department.
 Typically measure team performance only on
time, cost, and specifications.
Conducting Performance
Reviews
 Begin by asking the individual to evaluate his or
her own performance.
 Avoid drawing comparisons with other team
members; rather, assess the individual in terms of
established standards and expectations.
 Focus criticism on specific behaviors rather than
on the individual personally.
 Be consistent and fair in treatment of all team
members.
 Treat the review as one point in an ongoing
process.
Retrospectives
 Lessons Learned
 An analysis carried out during and shortly
after the project life cycle to capture positive
and negative project learning—“what
worked and what didn’t?”
 Goals of Retrospectives
 To reuse learned solutions
 To stop repetitive mistakes
Retrospectives (cont’d)
 Barriers to Organizational Learning
 Lack of post-project time for developing
lessons
 No post-project direction or support for teams
 Lessons become blame sessions
 Lessons are not applied in other locations
 Organizational culture does not recognize
value of learning
The Value of Retrospective
Analyses
 Making Retrospectives Effective:
 Use an independent facilitator to guide the project team
through the analysis project activities.
 Include a minimum of three in-process learning gates
during the life project cycle.
 Designate a team member as owner for each point in the
retrospective.
 Develop an easy-to-use learning repository to ensure future
utilization of retrospective lessons.
 Mandate use of retrospectives as part of the normal
process for all projects.

Notas del editor

  1. Does the work actually completed match the planned level of completion? Are significant schedule changes likely? If so, indicate the nature of changes. What progress has been made on tasks that could decide the success or failure of project? What is the potential for project failure or monetary loss? What lessons learned from the project being audited can be applied to other projects being undertaken by organization? What assumptions or limitations affect data in audit? First audit should be done early and focused on technical issues. From then on audits may be done after major milestones (important to team). An audit at the end would be value to parent organization.
  2. Audit Initiation = id. Purpose and scope of audit and determination of methodology. Team should have access to all records and reports. Baseline = performance standards Database = accumulation of information Preliminary Analysis = compares gathered information to standards and judges project performance Report preparation = preparing audit report and recommendations for improvement Termination = review of audit process and recommendations for improvement Project audit is not like a financial audit. A financial audit is limited in scope and focuses of organization’s assets while a project audit is broader in scope and either deals with whole, partial, or individual component of project.
