As a project is whining down, it's important to focus on these four activities. First, make sure to reiterate the final steps and sequences before you share that final education with the world. This includes deliverables, review milestones, final passes, even copy edits. In my experience, SMEs sometimes also start to check out or they move on to the next around this time.
