The Criteria for Project Closure

It's important to remember that project closure is a key output of administrative closure.

Here's a list of the criteria necessary to ensure project closure:

• Formal customer acceptance of the project results and deliverables

• Meeting the requirements of the delivering organization, such as the following:

  • Staff evaluations

  • Budget reports

  • Lessons learned

Keep in mind that although lessons learned are considered part of the criteria for project closure, lessons learned are also a separate key deliverable (or output) of administrative closure.
