Close Project or Phase

Closing a project or phase in Project Integration Management involves finalizing all activities to formally complete the work. This includes ensuring all objectives are met, obtaining stakeholder approval, releasing project resources, and documenting lessons learned. It’s about making sure everything is wrapped up properly, that all deliverables are accepted, and that any remaining tasks, like payment or reports, are finished. Essentially, it’s the process of taking a project from its active phase to completion, ensuring all loose ends are tied and the project is officially concluded.
