Intranet Rollout Project Closure Report
This is a practical guide to building a project closure report for an intranet rollout project — the record that formally closes the project and confirms acceptance, adapted to the realities of launching a company intranet or digital workplace.
What a Project Closure Report is
A project closure report is the record that formally closes the project and confirms acceptance. For the full concept and how it works in general, see Project Closure. On an intranet rollout project it plays the same role, tuned to this kind of work.
Why it matters for an Intranet Rollout project
Intranet Rollout projects live or die on launching a company intranet or digital workplace. A well-built project closure report gives the team a shared, explicit reference for exactly that — reducing ambiguity, aligning stakeholders, and making problems visible early enough to act. Skipping it, or doing it generically, is how intranet rollout projects drift into avoidable delay and cost.
What to include
- Objectives vs outcomes
- Deliverable acceptance
- Budget/schedule summary
- Lessons learned
- Handover
Intranet Rollout-specific considerations
Tailor the project closure report to the risks that most often derail intranet rollout projects:
- Content ownership
- Adoption
- Search and information architecture
Example
On a real intranet rollout project, the project closure report would be shaped by launching a company intranet or digital workplace. In particular, it should explicitly account for the project’s biggest risks — content ownership, adoption, search and information architecture — rather than treating them as afterthoughts.
