11	1. Has every stakeholder reviewed deliverables?	✅	It is essential that each stakeholder has the opportunity to give their approval on a given project. This may sound obvious but depending on the structure of your agency/company, this can vary. You will want to confirm the following people have had their final say: Art directors Copywriters Agency directors Department heads Internal senior stakeholders External stakeholders
12	2. Has the project scope been met?	✅	At the beginning of your project, you will have created a robust project scope that was used to shape your project and guide it to completion. Has the project scope statement been met entirely? If not, will that be an issue? This period of reflection can be useful for every stakeholder involved in the project.
13	3. Has a post-project report been completed and reviewed?	✅	A post-project report details the overall process that was followed and the results that were achieved. This report can help you to take key lessons from the project and also identify any areas that can be improved for the next round. This report should be shared among your organization for maximum effectiveness.
14	4. Have all costs been charged to the project?	✅	It is important that all of the relevant costs associated with your project are charged to it. This will help to tidy up loose ends, ensure that your organization gets its money, and avoid any potential confusion in the future with late invoices or bills.
15	5. Have all files been organized?	✅	Throughout the project, you probably created a lot of files and versions of deliverables. While those might seem useless now, it’s vital that they are properly cataloged and filed away for later on the off-chance that they are needed.
