Project Closure/Closing Activities

Project closure is the process of finalizing all activities across all of the project management process groups to formally complete the project or phase.

At the project closure, the following activities may occur:

•     Obtain acceptance by the customer or sponsor,
•     Conduct post-project or phase-end review,
•     Record impacts of tailoring to any process,
•     Document lesson learned,
•     Apply appropriate updates to organizational process assets,
•     Archive all relevant project documents in the Project Management Information System (PMIS) to be used as historical data, and
•     Close out procurements.
