Project closure
The infoKit recommends that any project should be formally closed to ensure that:
The education organisation has formally accepted all outcomes
Operational procedures are in place
The handover to operational staff has been completed
Documentation and reference material is in place
Any further actions and recommendations are documented and disseminated
The results are disseminated to the relevant people
There are no loose ends
JISC infoNet also points out that as benefits often cannot be fully measured until after the system has been running for some time a post project review should be conducted.
The recommended project review procedures for an EDRM project are detailed as stage nine in the toolkit. The next and final stage is project closure and support and it is vital that all support arrangements are in place and tested and accepted prior to project closure. This is reviewed in stage ten of the toolkit.
