Why each option
A post-mortem analysis is conducted after project completion or termination to capture lessons learned and, when applicable, the reasons a project ended early.
Lessons learned are a core deliverable of any post-mortem analysis, capturing both successes and failures throughout the project lifecycle. They serve as institutional knowledge that can be applied to future projects to improve processes, avoid repeated mistakes, and replicate successful approaches.
A transition plan is a separate document prepared before or during project closure to hand off deliverables and support responsibilities; it is not an output of the post-mortem analysis itself.
Project sponsor signoff is part of the formal project closure and acceptance process, not a component reviewed or generated during a post-mortem.
Maintenance responsibilities are defined in the transition plan rather than the post-mortem, which focuses on retrospective analysis of project performance and outcomes.
When a project is terminated before reaching its planned end, the post-mortem must document the specific reasons for that early termination so the organization understands what went wrong. Recording these reasons creates a historical record that informs future project selection decisions and helps stakeholders avoid committing resources to similarly problematic initiatives.
