This document discusses various ways that projects can be terminated. It identifies four main types of project termination: extinction, addition, integration, and starvation. Extinction occurs when a project achieves or fails to achieve its goals. Addition involves a successful project becoming part of the parent organization. Integration incorporates a completed project into the client's operations. Starvation happens when funding is removed from an ongoing project. The document also outlines factors for terminating a project, procedures for termination, and recommendations for a final report.
