10. Close and Evaluate Your Project
- Capture and share project knowledge
- Evaluate the project, team and leader’s performance
- Celebrate!
Project leaders leave a legacy within the organization only when they empower subsequent teams to succeed. This requires the scheduling of transition time to introduce new managers to the project staff, stakeholders and key issues. It also requires contributing to the organization’s capital by capturing and sharing project knowledge.
Most importantly, it requires a celebration of all the learning and growth that has occurred and acknowledgement of those who participated in the challenge of creating something new for the enterprise.
