Closing a Project

Closing the project is routine once you have the client's approval of the deliverables. It involves the following six steps:

  1. Getting client acceptance of deliverables
  2. Ensuring that all deliverables are installed
  3. Ensuring that the documentation is in place
  4. Getting client sign-off on the final report
  5. Conducting the post-implementation audit
  6. Celebrating the success

This chapter describes each of these steps in more detail.
