Workflow Detail: Close-Out Phase
Topics |
|
Purpose 
In this workflow detail, the Project Manager brings the phase to closure by ensuring that:
- all major issues from the previous iteration are resolved;
- the state of all artifacts is known (through configuration audit);
- required artifacts have been distributed to stakeholders;
- any deployment (e.g. installation, transition, training), problems are addressed;
- the project's finances are settled, if the current contract is ending (with the intent to re-contract for the next phase).
A final phase Status Assessment is prepared for the Lifecycle Milestone Review, at which the phase artifacts are reviewed and, if the project state is satisfactory, sanction is given to proceed to the next phase.
Required Artifacts
- for the Lifecycle Objectives Milestone
- for the Lifecycle Architecture Milestone
- for the Initial Operational Capability Milestone
- for the Product Release Milestone
