According to the PMBOK Guide, 7th edition, one of the principles of project management is to collaborate with stakeholders. This means that the project manager should maintain effective communication and engagement with the project stakeholders throughout the project life cycle, especially during changes and transitions. When the customer’s project manager changes during the final stage of a project, the project manager should review the latest project status report and update the stakeholders, including the new customer’s project manager, on the project progress, deliverables, issues, risks, and closure activities. This will help to ensure a smooth handover, alignment of expectations, and timely completion of the project closure process. The project manager should also seek feedback and confirmation from the stakeholders on the project outcomes and satisfaction.
