End of Project - Transition


Transition Planning
Project Closure

“Like organic entities, projects have life cycles. From a slow


beginning they progress to a …… peak, begin a decline, and finally
must be terminated. (Also, like other organic entities, they often
resist termination.)” –- Meredith and Mantel
THE END OF PROJECT - TRANSITION
PHASE

“Begin at the beginning and go on till you come


to the end: then stop” – Alice in Wonderland
What happens when the
project ends?
WHY TRANSITION?
Why do we call it the transition phase?

“A project is complete when it starts working for


you, rather than you working for it.” -– Scott
Allen
4 WAYS TO END YOUR PROJECT

“The end of a melody is not its goal: but nonetheless, had the melody not
reached its end it would not have reached its goal either. A
parable.” ― Friedrich Nietzsche

WHAT DO WE HAVE TO DO TO
TRANSITION A PROJECT?
List the activities you need to do to close/transition a
project

You never know what is enough, until you know what is more
than enough. ~William Blake, Proverbs of Hell
WHAT DO WE HAVE TO DO TO
TRANSITION A PROJECT?
“You are only as
good as you
finish”
WHAT CAN GO WRONG?
What can go wrong as you finish your projects?

“In poorly run projects, problems can go undetected until the project
fails. It’s like the drip … drip … drip of an leaky underground pipe.
Money is being lost, but you don’t see it until there is an explosion.” —
Joy Gumz
WHAT TOOLS CAN HELP? HOW?

Sometimes the questions are complicated and the


answers are simple. ~Dr Seuss
LEARNING
How good is your end of project learning?

Awful – we never do it

Good – we actively undertake project reviews but


these don’t always inform other projects

OK – just – we sometimes do it – but nothing


systematic

Brilliant - lessons learned are identified and


documented and fed into new project design

In NASA, we never punish error. We only punish the


concealment of error.” — Al Siepert
PROJECT LEARNING
How do you approach end of project learning? What
do you do? What difficulties have you experienced?

Sometimes the questions are complicated and


the answers are simple. ~Dr Seuss
