Closing a project marks the end of the feedback collection phase and finalizes your 360-degree feedback process.
Once a project is closed, no further responses can be submitted.
When to Close a Project
You should close your project when:
- All expected responses have been collected
- Response rates have reached an acceptable level
- Deadlines have passed and no further input is required
- You are ready to finalize reports
Closing the project ensures that your data remains consistent for reporting.
What Happens When a Project is Closed
After closing a project:
- Responders can no longer submit or update responses
- The project is considered complete
- 360 Reports can be generated using finalized data
This helps ensure that results are not affected by late responses.
Before You Close a Project
Before closing, it is recommended to:
- Review overall response rates
- Confirm that subjects have sufficient feedback
- Send any final reminders if needed
- Verify that no additional responses are expected
Taking these steps helps ensure the quality of your results.
How to Close a Project
You close the project by generating final 360 reports for the subjects. The platform does not automatically close projects or generate reports on the due date.
You can finalize and generate reports one subject at a time or finalize all subjects at once.
The project is considered closed once all subjects have been finalized and their final reports have been generated and distributed.
Tips for Closing a Project
- Review status reports carefully before finalizing
- Do not close the project too early—late responses can still add value
- Communicate deadlines clearly to subjects and responders
- Use reminders to maximize completion before closing
After Closing a Project
Once your project is closed, you can:
- Generate group reports
- Export response data
- Share results with subjects or stakeholders
- Begin follow-up activities such as development planning
