This project closure checklist provides tasks to ensure effective closure of a project. It includes completing outstanding tasks, resolving issues, meeting charter goals, collecting stakeholder feedback, training end users, assessing success measures, evaluating team members, paying costs, creating best practices documentation, assigning maintenance, having a closure meeting, and archiving documents. The sponsor must sign off once all closure tasks are finished.
