key considerations

Some projects and schemes may have always been for a fixed length of time. Others may have made a decision to close for a range of reasons.

Once you have made the decision to end your project or organisation, there are a range of things that need to be addressed. This section explores the key considerations that you will need to cover as an absolute minimum during the closure process.

Closing or ending a project or organisation is never an easy decision, due to the wide range of people it affects, not only those who are directly involved or employed by the project or organisation. Following the advice from the links should help ensure that all issues are addressed in an appropriate manner as you close.
