Project close-out template for PowerPoint

Close a project: what was delivered, how it went against plan, and what was learned.

Free: it uses no credits. You get your own copy to edit, in the look you pick here.

Look: Sand

When to use it

Use it at the end of a project to record what was delivered, how it went against plan and what was learned.

How to use it

  1. Make your own copy. It opens in the editor, where you can change the theme and edit anything.
  2. Fill in the fields below, and answer the question each slide asks with your own content and numbers.
  3. Download it as an editable PowerPoint file, or as a PDF. The file is reopened and checked before it is offered.

Slide by slide

  1. [project] close-out [client] · [date]
  2. What was delivered Did [project] do what it set out to do?
  3. Against plan A table: Measure, Planned, Actual
  4. What we learned What went well, What we would change
  5. Hand-over Who owns what from now on? Where are the documents kept?
  6. Next steps What [client] needs to confirm to close [project].

Fields to fill

Fill them once in the editor, or from a spreadsheet to make one copy per client. Where a slide needs content, it asks the question it must answer instead of showing a made-up answer.

  • {{project}}
  • {{client}}
  • {{date}}
  • {{planned_end}}
  • {{actual_end}}
  • {{planned_cost}}
  • {{actual_cost}}
