 Closure Phase Activities
• Implementation / Handover
• Sponsor’s Reaction
• Release of Resources
• Post Mortem
Implementation / Handover
• The implementation which contains
the various problems of SME’s in
Pakistan will be handed over to the
government officials.
 Sponsor’s Reaction
• The project team is the sponsor of
the project and the final output that
will be delivered has covered
everything from the deliverables to
the end product which are the
problems faced by the SME’s.
 Release of Resources
• Not applicable
• Self-financed
 Output Product
• End report as a result of our research
analysis
Performance on the triple
constraints
 Contd..
• Time: Our initial time was 4-5 weeks,
and now that has changed to about
7-8 weeks
• Cost: Our initial cost was 5000-7000
PKR, and there are no changes to the
initial cost of our project.
• Scope: There was a slight change in
our initial scope which will be
discussed later.
 Changes made in initial
scope
Initial Scope:
Identifying the problems SME’s are facing in Pakistan and
the Asian countries and providing solutions and
recommendations to these problems

Changes made:
Our primary research will now be focused only on
identifying the problems and recommendations of these
SME’s in the regions of Punjab and the federal area due
to time constraints and resource shortages.
 Risk Realized
• There is no support from the
government
• Inaccurate information from the
Questionnaires
• Problems occurred while explaining
the questions to the Respondent due
to language barrier
 Risk Mitigation
• We use the support of Electronic
media
• Increase the sample size from 100 to
250
• Modify the questionnaires so that
respondent can easily understand
the Questions
 Contingency Plan
• Not getting the correct information,
therefore changing our sample size.
• Not able to do primary research on
the whole Pakistan , so limiting the
scope to Punjab and Federal area.
• Changes the sample size from 100 to
250.
 End User Acceptance
• Not applicable
• And our end result is according to the
defined scope and objective of the
study which were to identify the
SME’s problems and their
recommendations

 Feedback to peers
• Time:-
– Initial phase of the project took the most time
as the group contained a mixture of students
from MBA and BBA
– All members of the group worked as cohesive
unit to finish the project on time

Cost:-
– The group contributed and equally shared
the cost that was incurred
 Lessons Learned
• Always start the project with a
brainstorming session
• Buck up the team from the start
• Properly define and then re-define
the scope
• Think BIG, take risks
