8.8 Phase Completion Approval Signoff Completed

---

This is the last step in the evolution of the project. In reality, when this signoff is completed, it signals the end of the program. Technically, the SPMO will maintain all documentation and history of the project until this deliverable has served its purpose and is shelved or replaced by another. When that happens, the SPMO will have the Project Sponsor or Executive Stakeholder place the final nail in the coffin by signing this Phase Completion Signoff. Doing so kicks off the final process in the SEP life cycle, Project Closeout, which is discussed in the next chapter.
