Final Paper
As a project goes through the execution phase, project control is critical to ensure that a project stays within the constraints of time, cost, and scope. A project manager will use different monitoring techniques to help keep the project within these constraints. If a project incurs changes, becomes delayed, or costs become higher, a project manager will execute change control to document and determine how to handle the change.
Once a project is completed, the project team should complete a final project report, which is the administrative record of the completed project, which identifies all its functional and technical components as well as other important project history. It includes all the strengths and weaknesses of the project as it progressed and offers a final assessment of what went right (or wrong) throughout the life of the project. It is essentially a “lessons learned” document of the project.
Your assignment is to prepare a project report for your project using Microsoft Word, make up a fictious project of your choice and complete a project close report for that project, make assumptions as needed since your project is fictitious. The goal is just to get you to understand how a project close report is created and the type of information that you would include within it. Include the following sections/elements:
1.Project Performance
This should include a candid assessment of the project’s achievements relative to its plan. Did the project achieve the goals you set out to accomplish? It should also include candid criticism as to the project performance. What caused this poor performance? What recommendations do you have to ensure it doesn’t happen in future projects?
2.Lessons Learned
What are come key Lessons Learned that you generated from the project or for the sake of this assignment some key learnings from the course.
3.Administrative Performance
What are the standard administrative practices that occur within an organization that were beneficial to the project? What were some drawbacks that could be improved on?
4.Organizational Structure

5.Team Performance
