IV: Closing a project
Closing a project entails several processes, which require energetic followthrough:
Assessment
Lessons learned, then documented
- Review decisions at gates
- Check results against scope
Strategic decisions
What, if anything, to archive, and how?
Who will have responsibility for maintenance?
If the project is to be repeated, should it turn into a program?
Within the liberal arts context:
- Integration with curricular assessment
- Political issue: difference in including executing process members in controlling group's closing process (PMI)
