I was recently working with a team to develop an online system. We had worked for several months and were making good progress when the project got canned. We all felt strongly that the projects completion was important and that it would have great outcomes on our consumers productivity. After being frustrated for a while I thought I should ask some people with more experience.
What is the best way to deal with the frustration of a canned project and move forward so that it doesn't hold future possibilities back?
In other words, Project Closing is the combination of the following when applied to a project: Assurance that all the work has been completed, Assurance that all agreed upon project management processes have been executed, and. Formal recognition of the completion of a project—everyone agrees that it is completed.
Closing Processes ActivitiesObtain acceptance of the project deliverables. Hand off operations and support responsibilities. Document the lessons learned over the course of the project. Formalize closure. Obtain sign-off from project sponsor and project manager.
“Close Project or Phase is the process of finalizing all activities for the project, phase, or contract. The key benefits of this process are the project or phase information is archived, the planned work is completed, and organizational team resources are released to pursue new endeavors.
On a well designed project, some of the code you developed can be reused in future projects, making it worthwhile. Even if you can't use any of it however, you and your team probably gained valuable experience that will help in the future as well. Think of it as an expensive team exercise.
