As you learned, one of the most important steps in closing a project is gathering the project team and conducting a post-mortem, and then documenting the lessons learned. For example, we record things like:
· What was done well so it can be repeated in the future.
· What could have been done better, and how.
Instructions
In this assignment, imagine that your chosen project has been completed, that you have conducted a post-mortem with your team, and that your boss has asked you to report on the closing process and lessons learned for your project.
In a 5–7 slide PowerPoint presentation:
· Create a project closure checklist that effectively inventories project objectives, components, and processes.
· Detail plans for how you conducted (or would conduct) a post-mortem on the project.
· Describe the lessons learned from the project. Consider what you could have done differently and how the lessons learned affect how you would conduct the project initiation and planning process in your next project.
Be sure to include visual elements to support or highlight key points in your presentation, and use detailed speaker notes to describe what is presented on your slides. Use scholarly and/or professional resources to support your work.
Additional Requirements
Your assignment should also meet the following requirements:
· Written communication: Ensure written communication is free of errors that detract from the overall message.
· Number of resources: Cite at least three current scholarly or professional resources.
· Length: 5–7 slides, plus title and references slides.
· Submission: Submit the 5–7 slide PowerPoint presentation.
