Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Project's ending, stakeholders gather round
Administrative closure starts unwinding down
Documents archived, contracts sealed tight
Final deliverable acceptance brings delight
Procurement closure cleans the vendor slate
No more purchases, close that contract gate

[Chorus]
A-F-L-R, remember these four
Admin, Final, Lessons, Resources at the door
Close it clean, close it right
Benefits measured in hindsight
Transition smooth to operations
Project closure celebrations

[Verse 2]
Lessons learned documentation tells the tale
What worked perfectly, what made us fail
Knowledge captured for the next brigade
Future projects built on wisdom we've made
Release of resources sends the team away
Human capital finds a brand new day

[Chorus]
A-F-L-R, remember these four
Admin, Final, Lessons, Resources at the door
Close it clean, close it right
Benefits measured in hindsight
Transition smooth to operations
Project closure celebrations

[Bridge]
Final project report summarizes all
Benefits realization answers the call
Did we deliver value as promised before?
Measurement proves what we were working for
Handoff complete to operational hands
Project manager's duty finally ends

[Verse 3]
Administrative tasks check every box
Procurement vendors settle final stocks
Acceptance criteria validated clean
Best project ending you have ever seen
Transition planning helps the business flow
Closure process lets the project go

[Chorus]
A-F-L-R, remember these four
Admin, Final, Lessons, Resources at the door
Close it clean, close it right
Benefits measured in hindsight
Transition smooth to operations
Project closure celebrations

[Outro]
When the project charter finds its rest
Closure processes prove you did your best
PMP knowledge helps you end with grace
Project closure puts you in first place
