Project closure report
Record sheetWhat was delivered, what is left over, and what you learned — on one sheet.
The leftovers field is the one that matters
Every project ends with something unfinished, and the difference between a project that closed and one that was abandoned is whether somebody wrote down what was left and who now owns it. It sits in the header beside what was delivered, because a reader picking this up in a year needs both in the same glance.
Not a handover, and not a certificate
Construction handover is a different exercise producing a different record — it is about a building, it involves a contractor and an owner, and it carries warranties and O&M material. This is an internal report about a piece of work, written by the people who did it. It makes no determination that a project is contractually complete, that anything was accepted or that any milestone was met.

An internal close-out report. It is not a handover and not a certificate: no contractual-completion determination, no acceptance, no milestone verdict and no compliance claim. Everything runs on your device.
Questions people ask
- Is this the construction handover?
- No. Handover is about a building and carries warranties and manuals. This is an internal close-out report about a piece of work.
- Does it say the project is complete?
- It says you closed it on a date. It makes no determination that anything is contractually complete or that any milestone was met — that is decided by the contract and the people to it.
- What goes in the lessons grid?
- Whatever the people who did the work want the next ones to know, marked as went well, did not go well, left over or for next time. The categories are labels, and nothing counts or scores them.
- Where does the project come from?
- The project list this product already keeps, by its id — so renaming a project moves none of its records.
