What is Project Termination?

For any project, the contract should have provisions for stopping work before completion.

Termination can be for cause or for convenience:

  • The buyer may terminate a contract for cause if the seller breaches the contract (eg. does not perform).
  • The buyer can terminate the contract because they no longer want the work done.

Termination automatically puts the project into closing process group.

In simple words and in context of PMP Project termination refers to the actions undertaken to terminate a project. Project terminiation may occur because the project is completed or because the project must be terminated prior to completion due to a alck of funds, significant changes in requirements, and so on.
