Project Closure Report

Overview

The Project Closure Report tool can be used to document the closure of the project by getting formal approvals from critical stakeholders such as sponsors, process owners, etc. This would be one of the final steps on a project where we document the approval for closure of a project from critical stakeholders.

This tool can be added to your active workbook by clicking on Project and then selecting Closure Form.

Worksheet

Enter the following data on the worksheet:
  • Delete the sections that do not apply to your company. For example, some companies do not require approval by the controller to close the project, so you can delete the rows that relate to the Financial Controller.
  • Enter the input data in the input worksheet and forward the form to the appropriate stakeholders.
  • Get the digital signatures of the key stakeholders or print out a copy of the form and get physical signatures on the form.
  • Once the form has been signed, upload a scanned copy to the project's final report.

Outputs

Click on Compute Outputs to update the date/time stamp on the worksheet. A sample screenshot of the worksheet is shown below.

Notes

Here are a few pointers regarding this analysis:
  • The current version of the form does not allow the form to be digitally signed. You will need to fill out the details, print it out and then get it signed, and then attach a scanned copy of the signed form to your presentation.
