A project manager has successfully led a team through the completion of a complex IT project. The objectives were met, and the client is satisfied with the deliverables. The team has grown professionally and personally over the course of the project. Which action should the project manager take to appropriately support the team during this final phase?
Begin planning for the next project phase to keep the team engaged.
Start assigning team members to new projects to maintain their productivity.
Conduct a final project retrospective meeting to capture lessons learned and acknowledge the team's contributions.
Hold individual meetings with team members to evaluate their performance for annual reviews.
Conducting a final project retrospective meeting to capture lessons learned and acknowledge the team's contributions is the most appropriate action during the adjourning phase. This allows the team to reflect on their experiences, provides closure, and helps document insights for future projects. Assigning team members to new projects without debriefing can overlook valuable feedback and may affect team morale. Holding individual performance evaluations focuses on personal development rather than team closure. Planning for the next project phase is not suitable if the current project is complete and there is no immediate follow-up project.
