Workflow Detail: Close-Out Phase

Disciplines > Project Management > Workflow > Close-Out Phase

Topics

In this workflow detail, the Project Manager brings the phase to closure by ensuring that:

all major issues from the previous iteration are resolved
the state of all artifacts is known (through configuration audit)
required artifacts have been distributed to stakeholders
any deployment (for example, installation, transition, training), problems are addressed
the project's finances are settled, if the current contract is ending (with the intent to recontract for the next phase)

A final phase Status Assessment is prepared for the Lifecycle Milestone Review, at which point the phase artifacts are reviewed and, if the project state is satisfactory, sanction is given to proceed to the next phase.
