3.7 Closing Process Group
The Closing Process Group consists of those processes performed to finalize all activities across all Project Management Process Groups to formally complete the project, phase or contractual obligations (Project Management Institute, 2008, p 71).
Whew!! We are all done and the project is out the door, another
satisfied customer, on to the next project, but wait. Are all of our suppliers
paid in full, contracts completed, resources allocated to another need? One
final step to delivering the deliverable is the closing phase that will ensure
the project goals were met and resources are complete.
The historical data, tracking issues and how they were overcome,
will become a lessons learned database. In lieu of using the same Band-Aids in
the next project, we can make systemic adjustments to the organizational
process assets to avert another occurrence.

artifact uses a purchased template that provided a basic outline for the procurement
management process. I adapted the template to a fictional project and added
items unique to aviation.
Searching for an artifact for project closeout, it dawned on me. What better tool for this class than to do a closeout report on PMGT 609. This report identifies the closing phase and is current to March 09, 2013.
