Project Management · Level 5 of 5 · Capstone

Capstone: deliver and close

Run status reporting, manage stakeholders, and close a project well.

Study notes

  1. A stakeholder map plots people by influence and interest. Manage closely those with high influence and high interest.
  2. Status reports show progress, schedule and budget health, top risks, and decisions needed.
  3. Earned value compares planned work, completed work, and actual cost. A cost performance index (CPI) below 1 means over budget.
  4. Close a project formally: get acceptance of deliverables, release resources, archive documents, and close contracts.
  5. Hold a lessons-learned review focused on what to repeat and what to change, not on blame.
