Regardless whether a successful project is completed by inclusion, integration, or extinction, a plan must be developed to terminate it. An organization that is project-oriented may have a "termination manager" whose primary responsibility is to effectively and efficiently end projects. The duties of a termination manager may include the following:

• Ensure the project is complete.

• Ensure delivery and client acceptance.

• Prepare a final report.

• Ensure that all bills have been paid and that the final invoice has been sent to the client.

• Redistribute personnel, materials, equipment, and any other resources.

• Determine what records (manuals, reports, and other paperwork) are to be kept and place them in storage.

• Assign responsibility for product support, if necessary.

• Oversee the closing of the project's books.
