MODULE 6MODULE 6

Managing Relationships and Project Close

Introduction

As projects grow in scope, project managers are often asked whether it is possible to complete the

project on their own.  On top of that is the fact that society is becoming more global and

interconnected. This increases the likelihood of working with many individuals across di�erent

languages and cultures, which makes managing relationships crucial to project success. Part of that

communication should be in the form of discussions regarding project close inclusive of lessons

learned throughout the project.

In this module, students will assess areas where improvements can be made in the area of

relationship management and project closure actions for the Case Study project and identify

possible bene�ts or outcomes to deliver a successful project completion.

This module will cover:

Relationship management and e�ective procurement

Supplier relationships, ethics and transparency

Supplier development strategies and best practices

Project closure documentation and lessons learnt

Emerging issues, trends and contract management excellence
