Project Closure Plan
& Final Portfolio Project(350 Points)
The primary objective of your Portfolio
Project is to familiarize you with project management skills relevant to the
process groups of planning, execution, monitoring and control, and closing. In
Week 8 you will finalize a portfolio of documents representing your
understanding of core components and competencies of IT project management,
including project charter, project scope statement, work breakdown structure,
change management processes, communication management, quality management, and
project closure plan.
You may choose a real project in your current
organization, in another organization, the case study provided in the text
(described below), or a fictitious project scenario. The project involves two
options from which you choose one to help guide your writing.
The details, materials
and specific requirements of this project can be found in the Portfolio

Additionally, craft an executive summary and a
conclusion. The executive summary must offer a high-level description of the
project you have developed throughout the course. The conclusion should focus
on your self-assessment as a project manager assigned to an IT project. Address
the key elements you identified in the previous modules and identify additional
areas that you think would be beneficial to the success of your project.
Your total project should be 8-12 pages
including title and reference pages, but if you need more accommodation,
contact the instructor for advice. Preface the document with a 1-2 page
statement that summarizes and explains the purpose of your project.
