Importance of Closing a Project: Discuss why it is important to close a project once it is completed.

Once a project is complete, you might assume the project is finished and the project team is ready to start the next project, but this is not the case. As part of the project plan, the project manager must also establish and execute a formal process to officially close the project. This will result in a project archive in which all of the final deliverables are stored.
