Closing out a project includes a daunting number of tasks. In the past and on
small projects the project manager was responsible for seeing all tasks and loose
ends were completed and signed off. This is no longer true. In today’s projectdriven
organizations that have many projects occurring simultaneously, the responsibility
for completing closure tasks has been parsed among the project
manager, project teams, project office, an oversight “review committee,” and an
independent retrospective facilitator. Many tasks overlap, occur simultaneously,
and require coordination and cooperation among these stakeholders
