Week 7: Collaboration Cafe: Closing the Project
The term closing for projects is a misnomer. Many times, the PM
and/or the team were the champions of the change and you
drove the passion and motivation. Far too many amazing projects
revert back to the prior status quo not long after the PM team has
moved onto their next project. Just because you and your team
have done a great job in planning and executing the project and it
was running well when you left, doesn’t mean that you can just
assume it will continue successfully. How do we sustain the
practice change that we sought to make? When you’re gone and
onto your next project, what will happen to the one you just
closed? What strategies have you put in place to ensure the longterm success and sustainability of your project? When you check
back in after a year, what will it look like?
