Project Closeout

Manage the full consulting engagement closeout process: ensuring deliverables are handed over, knowledge is transferred, lessons are captured, and the client is equipped to operate independently. Treat closure as a structured workstream, not an afterthought.

Before You Begin

Closeout depends on what was delivered and what remains. Confirm before proceeding:

• What is the engagement size and duration (to calibrate closeout effort)?
• What deliverables were produced and what is their acceptance status?
• Is this a successful completion, early termination, or transition to BAU?
• Don't generate deliverable lists, financial reconciliation figures, or benefits data. Ask what exists and work from what the user provides.

Closeout Effort Estimation

Allocate closeout effort explicitly. Teams consistently underestimate this.
