Project Closure Checklist

Most projects don't end. They drift, leaving benefits unrealized and resources quietly locked.

A consulting-grade framework to shut a project down properly. Six closure domains take you from delivery is done to a formally signed-off, audit-ready close, with benefits handed over, contracts settled, the team released, and the lessons captured.

What's inside

• A Closure Readiness Scorecard that tells you when a project is truly ready to close
• Six closure domains: delivery, commercial, knowledge, team release, governance, and handover
• Every action mapped to an owner and the verification evidence that proves it is done
• A closure ceremony agenda to capture sign-off live
• A red flag check that stops a premature close before it costs you
• A benefits and handover focus, so value is owned by the business after you leave

Who it's for

• Project and program managers closing a delivery cleanly
• PMO managers standardizing how projects are formally closed
• Consultants handing a project back to the business at the end of an engagement
• Sponsors who need assurance that closed means closed

Why it's better

• Diagnostic-led: you score closure readiness before you declare the project done
• Evidence-based: every item closes against documented proof, not a verbal yes
• A clean handover focus that protects benefits long after the team disbands
