The Modular Project Management^® Core Modules Include:

5. Project Control and Closure

This module describes the elements of an effective status tracking and reporting approach, and a change management process that is responsive to business needs, but manages expectations about the impact of change. It discusses issues surrounding getting project closure, the ways different participants view success, and performing post-project reviews.

Learning Objectives

	Select minimum-effort tracking methods that can prevent, detect, and recover from problems.
	Analyze project performance using issue logs and earned value tracking; evaluate the status of multiple concurrent projects.
	Produce project reports that are appropriate for their audience, and for their timing.
	Institute a change control process that manages the impact of changes, while responding to customer needs.
	Describe the actions and outcomes of proper phase closure.
	Plan and implement evaluation and post-project review steps to successfully end a project.

Audience
The intended audience of all the Core Modules includes Project Managers, leaders, and key team members (including customers or clients) of medium-to-large projects. Managers of project teams will also receive benefit, as well as Project Management Office staff who have not been exposed to the gamut of project management topics they need to support. See the Intact Team option for increased benefit for one or two work groups.
