Project Termination

The document discusses various methods for terminating projects, including termination by extinction, addition, integration, and starvation. It notes that termination by extinction can occur when a project is either successfully completed or fails. Termination by addition involves a successful project becoming a formal part of the parent organization. Termination by integration distributes a project's resources among existing parent organization elements. Termination by starvation reduces a project's budget to end it without formally killing it. The document also addresses potential problems if a project manager lacks a follow-on project, duties of a termination manager, and factors considered in project termination decisions.
