AI: What are two high-value uses of AI for PM in Week 11?
Predictive estimates; early risk identification.
AI/RPA overall effect on the PM role — one sentence?
Less admin, better accuracy, and the PM focuses on people and decisions.
Closure mnemonic CLAA stands for what four things?
Close‑out; Learn (audit); Assess benefits (PIR); Archive.
What are the four reasons to close a project formally?
Get acceptance, end cleanly, learn lessons, and archive evidence.
Name the five types of project closure listed in Week 11.
Normal; Premature; Perpetual; Failed; Changed priority.
Premature closure means…
The scope is trimmed and the project finishes early with partial deliverables.
Perpetual closure describes…
A project that drifts without formal completion — it ‘never ends.’
What does Close‑out/Wrap‑up include?
Handover deliverables, release the team, settle contracts/bills, and produce the final report.
In closure, what is a Project Audit?
An independent review of why/what/how — documenting what went well or poorly to improve next time.
What question does the Post‑Implementation Review (PIR) answer?
Did we get the intended outcomes, and were there any unexpected outcomes? Document and store.
What is Contractual Closure?
Both parties confirm all terms are complete and all invoices are paid; may include final negotiations.
Why archive project artifacts at closure?
So future teams can actually find the lessons and evidence for reuse.
Why are audits often skipped, and what’s the counter‑argument?
Skipped because they take time and people want to move on; but independent, focused audits prevent repeating mistakes.
