The End Project Report is designed to provide a summary of the project's performance against its original objectives, benefits, costs, and tolerances. If a project is closed prematurely, this report would document the reasons for the closure and indicate to what extent the project objectives were achieved or not achieved. This makes it the appropriate product to show that the project has been closed prematurely and has not met the objectives defined in the Project Initiation Documentation.
