10 Follow-up Activities Your Project Should Include

Think that projects done? Not so fastthere are a host of items that sometimes dont make the formal punchlist, but they should. Below are some often-overlooked follow-up activities to consider adding to your task list.

1. End user training. An important but sometimes neglected issue, PMs should take charge of making sure users know how to make the most ofand safely useall the new goodies your project provided.

2. Documentation updates. Make current all manuals (maintenance, operation, procedural), asset sheets, license databases, regulatory information, building drawings, and anything else affected by your project.

3. Certification/validation of equipment, software, and processes. End users sometimes prefer to manage this responsibility themselves, but your team should at least be aware of the need for post-project certification or validation. Confirm that resources are available and ready for use before considering the project complete.

4. User and stakeholder surveys. Solicit, evaluate, and respond to feedback while the project is still fresh.

5. Service agreement changes. Service agreements may need to be amended to cover changes made as part of your project. Evaluate existing agreements to see what needs updating.

6. Legal and accounting issues. Wind down project-related insurance policies, vendor contracts, price/work agreements, and all final invoicing. This leaves your organization and its vendors ready to begin the next project.

7. Project post-mortem. Your team deserves the opportunity to learn from and improve upon their performance, so consider post-mortems a top priority.

8. Documentation archival. The ability to locate and retrieve information at a later date will depend on todays efforts.

9. Reassign staff. Work with your team to distribute their expertise among other active projects, or those in the pipeline.

10. Celebrate success. Reward your teams efforts, and make a note of any outstanding achievements. Update individual personnel files as appropriate.
