Once your team has completed work on a project, you enter the closure phase. In the closure phase,

you provide final deliverables, release project resources, and determine the success of the project.

Just because the major project work is over, that doesn$$t mean the project manager$$s job is done$$

there are still important things to do$,$ including evaluating what did and did not work with the project.

Steps for the project closure phase may include the following:

$$ Analyzing project performance: Determine whether the project's goals were met $($tasks completed,

on time and on budget$)$ and the initial problem solved using a prepared checklist.

$$ Analyzing team performance: Evaluate how team members performed, including whether they

met their goals along with timeliness and quality of work

$$ Documenting project closure: Make sure that all aspects of the project are completed with no loose

ends remaining and providing reports to key stakeholders

$$ Conducting post$-$implementation reviews: Conduct a final analysis of the project, taking into

account lessons learned for similar projects in the future

$$ Accounting for used and unused budget: Allocate remaining resources for future projects
