Closing a project involves the handover of the project outputs to the Project Business Owner(s) for utilisation by the Project Customers, in order to realise the project outcomes/benefits. After the project’s success has been evaluated, the Steering Committee formally closes the project and celebrations can commence.

Section 4 of the Tasmanian Government Project Management Guidelines
Planning for organisational change, in the context of these Guidelines, is from the perspective of planning for the achievement of the targeted outcomes of the project. Projects are all about change and almost always involve people and relationships.

Section 12 of the Tasmanian Government Project Management Guidelines
Projects can be closed because they are completed successfully, or because it is clear the proposed benefits of the project are unlikely to be attained or are unlikely to be relevant in the current organisational context. To gain formal acceptance of project outputs, and confirm the realisation of the outcomes, the closing down of a project should be planned.
