Close out and hand over

Objective / Output

Moves and Communications comprising the "Close out and hand over" play

Description

All projects end and eventually all good projects take steps to close out and hand over the changes to operational authorities. This should happen seamlessly. In tandem, capturing the experiences and lessons of the project for the future is just good sense. The work to close out the change management “project,” including hand overs, post mortem (self-)analysis, and Lessons Learned reporting is the essence of this Play.

This activity is the structured transition of responsibility and accountability for outcome metrics to the previously determined operational authority.

This activity is to arrange, conduct, and capture results of a post mortem on the project's change management efforts.

This activity is the structured transition of responsibility and accountability for outcome metrics to the previously determined operational authority.
