Project Closure Templates
Often neglected, it is important to ensure that a project is closed properly. Many projects never end because there is no formal sign off. It is vital to get the customer's agreement that a project has finished and that no more work will be carried out. Once closed the project manager should review the project and record the lessons learnt so that successes can be repeated and failures avoided. A project that is not closed will continue to consume resources, albeit slowly.
Reselling or publication of these templates is strictly forbidden.
