This week's focus is project closure, with the assumption that your project will go through execution as planned and will be formally closed. While the project has been the project manager's focus since project initialization, it is also very important for the project manager to help transition team members back to their functional organizations as well as assure that all project documentation is archived. A significant final deliverable of the project is a lessons learned document and meeting.

It is also important to protect against any future liability by making sure that all the important project documents are stored together and archived properly.
