Handing Over A Project To A New Project Manager
Potter (2010, slide 3) offers these recommendations when handing over a project to another project manager:
• Even when the project appears to be completed there might be as much as 25% of the original costs involved in putting things right, rework and so forth
• The three aspects of project afterlife show how successful the project leader and manager has been in terms of:
o Ensuring that the client organisation is linked into the project so that they can use it effectively
o Auditing the project life cycle and processes and building on strengths to minimize the impact of weaknesses
o Dismantling the project team and celebrating the success of the project
• Letting go of a project at its winding up is not always easy
He also recommends you (Porter, 2010):
Document the learning
Record best practices and project information
Summarize the effectiveness of the project process

• Project documentation (risk and issue logs, project plan and charter, project schedule, etc.)

• Financial reports and processes
• Deliverables of the project have been accepted by both the client or sponsor
• Project status reports have been reviewed with your team and are up to date
