You finished your project planning and integrated the outputs from each of the planning processes into a comprehensive project management plan. Now, you want to transition your project from planning to execution. In this lesson, you will execute a project plan. The project team members need a coach to guide them as they undertake the work defined in the scope statement. Executing a project plan ensures that the project team is on the same page and that the project is completed on time, within budget, and with the required quality.

You have successfully executed the project plan and obtained all deliverables from the project team. You are ready to hand over the project to the customer. In this lesson, you will close the project. Unfinished business, contracts not correctly closed out, and poor documentation can turn into months of additional work and expenditures. The last thing you do on a project will be the first thing people remember about your efforts overall. Formal project closure helps ensure that there are no loose ends that could unravel the good work of your team and the success of your project.

You'll wrap things up and then validate what you've learned in this course by taking an assessment.
