Overview
Once a project is complete, often a post-implementation review is done. Read this chapter to better understand what this review involves, and how the project manager will gather information for this review.
As discussed in "Introduction to Project Management", projects are temporary. They have a definite beginning and ending date. Projects finish when their unique outcomes (i.e., results, deliverables) are produced and become available for the client and its end users as well as the customers to use. Once the project deliverables are approved by the internal or external client (or an inspection and acceptance committee), the project manager can start the closing phase. Although closing a project might seem easier compared with the implementation phase, this process still requires delicate attention as detailed in the following sections.
