Managing for a successful project closure

Professionally approached managers and their teams, with all relevant abilities supported by efficient and accurate tracking software manage to plan, initiate & execute projects successfully. So why do these management teams often fail to deliver the project in its final closure phase? Problems such as budget constraints, timely milestone achievement, resource shortage or even lack of interest from the team, all come in existence during this phase. This may be experienced by most project managers looking forward to a project completion. A winning project may be described as the one that has effectively been closed, because project closure in itself is one whole project with individual tasks and assigned resources. This paper achieves in providing guidelines for managers who, by implementing centralized ownership (involving all team members), dasiapost-closurepsila communication with all stakeholders, regular updates on execution of remaining processes, resource allocation and most importantly, by triggering positive psychological behavior of team members will ensure a successful closure. These guidelines may also be utilized for propagation of positive feedback from stakeholders in order to maximize a successful closure and significantly enhance the chances of an overall triumphant project completion.
