Assignment 5: Project Closeout

Due Week 10 and worth 200 points

Imagine that you have completed the same project discussed in  Assignment 4. You exceeded the project budget, but you were able to  complete the project within 15% of its scheduled completion date. Now,  the management has requested a project review of your project.

Write a six to eight (8-10) page paper in which you:

1. Analyze the closeout process for your project. Next, determine the  main challenges that you would encounter during the project closeout  process, and provide your strategy to address the challenges in  question. 
2. Select one (1) tool, other than MS Project, that you could use in  order to manage project costs and scheduling. Next, speculate on the  overall different project management strategy that you would apply based  on the tool that you have selected. Provide a rationale to support your  response. 
3. Analyze whether or not continuous process improvements would have  helped the delivery of your project. Provide a rationale to support your  response.
4. Speculate on whether or not using risk management techniques would  have affected the delivery of your project. Provide at least two (2)  examples of using risk management techniques that would have helped the  delivery of your project to support your response.
