A successful project execution phase rests squarely on a robust project plan and a realistic business case.

The project management team must now use all their expertise to get the job done, manage deviations and changes, threats and opportunities, and meet stakeholder expectations. In addition, important project closing activities, such as performance evaluation and the documentation of both positive and negative experiences, must be carried out, so that lessons learned can help to make future projects even more successful.
