Closeout Phase

The goal of every project journey is to eventually reach safe harbor with the project sailing boat and, after a successful voyage across sometimes stormy seas, to literally have solid ground under their feet again and be able to disembark. The closeout phase of a project is yet another thrilling and demanding phase, because for one we need to deal with different forms of completing our project where we are confronted with a multitude of legal frameworks and legal consequences, and for another, on an interpersonal level we enter the Adjourning phase according to Tuckman and therefore have to expect a few difficulties. The project closeout represents the final phase in project management and contains three different ways of completing a project, all of which are important and therefore worth looking at in more detail.
