In which situation can a project be closed?

A project can be closed upon the completion of all Statement of Work (SOW) objectives because this signifies that all intended deliverables and outcomes have been achieved as defined in the project scope. The SOW outlines specific goals and tasks, and once these are met, it indicates that the project has fulfilled its primary purpose. This completion provides a formal closure point, allowing for evaluation of the project’s success and the release of resources.

While gathering customer feedback, conducting final meetings, and reviewing budgets are important elements that occur towards the end of a project, they do not necessarily indicate that the project’s objectives have been fully met. These activities might contribute to the overall project closure process, but they do not serve as the definitive mark of project completion like the fulfillment of all SOW objectives does.
