it is also possible that the project board may wish to trigger a premature closer of the project under some circumstances (for example, if the business case is no longer valid )
A number of actions specific to the project's products may be required after the project, and these should be documented and planned for as follow-on action recommendation
Activities

Before closure of the project can be recommended, the project Manager must ensure that the expected results have been achieved and delivered

Hand over products
The project's Product must be passed to an operational and maintenance enviroment prior to the project being closed
This may happen as a single release at the end of the project or the project approach may include phased delivery where products are handed over in a number of releases.
The Benefit Review plan may need to be updated to include the post-project benefits reviews of the performance of the project Products in operational use
Evaluate the Project
