1. Project Closure

Purpose

Formal closure procedure for AI projects, focused on securing knowledge and transferring responsibilities to the operations organisation.

1. Purpose

Formally concluding an AI project, with a focus on securing the knowledge gained and transferring responsibilities to the management organisation. A structured closure prevents knowledge loss, undocumented dependencies and unclear ownership — three of the most common causes of problems in the operational phase.

2. Components

  • Lessons Learned — Structured reflection on what went well, what can be improved and what the organisation takes to future projects
  • Handover Procedures — Formal handover process from project team to management organisation
  • Benefits Realisation — Final assessment of realised benefits against the original business case

Next step: Schedule a Lessons Learned session before the formal project end. → Use the Handover Checklist as the basis for the handover process.
