Project Closure and Retrospective: Learning from Experience to Improve Performance
A well-managed project doesn’t end with delivery. It’s often in the closure phase that the greatest opportunities for improvement for future projects lie.
This e-learning course, lasting approximately 1.5 hours, has been designed to enable project teams to professionalize the closure phase by adopting structured, agile, and collective practices. It is aimed at anyone who wants to get the most value from each completed project—whether it was a success, a failure, or somewhere in between.
Why take this course?
Because closing isn’t just about filing documents or settling accounts. It is above all:
- Identifying key lessons, to stop repeating the same mistakes
- Capitalizing on collective successes, to transform them into standards
- Strengthening team cohesion, by addressing successes and tensions without taboos
- Preparing for the future, by creating a culture of continuous improvement and feedback
