Questions to Ask at the End of a Project
Questions that you should ask at the end of the project include the following. Of course, many of these items should be an ongoing focus throughout the life of the project.
- Have all required products and services been provided to the sponsor?
- Have all actions related to contract changes or revisions been concluded?
- Have all contractual issues been settled?
- Have all ongoing maintenance requirements been addressed and agreed to?
- Is documentation in place that adequately shows the receipt and formal acceptance of all contract deliverables?
- Has property or information provided by the sponsor been returned?
- Has the final invoice been submitted and paid?
- Has the project file been updated and is it completely up to date?
- Have you gathered lessons learned from the sponsor, suppliers, and your teams?
- Has the project team determined whether any project material should be nominated for inclusion in IBM's Intellectual Capital Management (ICM) database?
- Has a sponsor satisfaction survey been conducted?
- Have the technical environment elements been released?
