 <\/p>\n

Everything\u2014beautiful and ugly, successful and unsuccessful\u2014eventually comes to an end. One day, all that remains of the present will be a memory. Closing a project is one<\/span><\/p>\n

of these decisions: a sign of maturity and a clear-eyed understanding of reality, not the opposite.<\/span><\/p>\n

The decision to close a project is usually made in one of two situations. The first is when the project fails and can no longer meet its founders\u2019 ambitions, or has not generated <\/span><\/p>\n

the expected profit, or at least the amount that had been planned. The second situation is when the project reaches the height of its success, and has no opportunity to <\/span><\/p>\n

make further progress; it has done everything possible and achieved the greatest possible gains and profits.<\/span><\/p>\n

In this situation or another, the right decision may be to move on from one project to another and start thinking about a new product, a new market, and so on. But does anyone<\/span><\/p>\n

ever consider closing a project? In reality, this rarely happens, even though it is obvious that everything changes and eventually comes to an end. It therefore makes sense <\/span><\/p>\n

for those running projects to consider this option and keep it in mind at all times.<\/span><\/p>\n

Success Criteria:<\/span><\/h2>\n

\u0639\u0646\u062f \u0648\u0636\u0639 \u062e\u0637\u0629 \u0645\u0634\u0631\u0648\u0639<\/a> Projects are primarily defined by a set of objectives and goals that must be achieved\u2014the very purpose for which the project was created <\/span><\/p>\n

as well. These objectives are the reason the project exists, and they give rise to what may be called \u201csuccess criteria.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Success criteria are a set of general standards and abstract frameworks that we use to assess whether a project has succeeded. If the project completes <\/span><\/p>\n

its task to the highest standard and meets all its success criteria, the best course of action is to close it and move on to a new project.<\/span><\/p>\n

We have realized all the benefits, profits, and gains the project can offer\u2014in other words, we have \u201cexhausted its core value.\u201d No further gains are possible, <\/span><\/p>\n

so any effort in this regard would be unproductive and misdirected.<\/span><\/p>\n

Needless to say, all success criteria should be measurable, and the methods for measuring them should be agreed upon to prevent future conflict among project members <\/span><\/p>\n

during the evaluation process.<\/span><\/p>\n

Detailed planning:<\/span><\/h2>\n

Companies that clearly understand that one of their projects will eventually come to an end are the same companies that create specific plans for every step along the way, <\/span><\/p>\n

and they are the organizations that follow well-defined frameworks and standards.<\/span><\/p>\n

In other words, they know where to step, how to reach their goals, and the best way to maximize the benefits of a given project. Those who can foresee the end <\/span><\/p>\n

of something can chart the best path to that outcome and make the most of the circumstances at hand.<\/span><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
