What is the importance of a post-mortem in the closing phase of a project?

A post-mortem in the closing phase of a project is important as it allows the team to review and document the project's entire process. It helps in identifying what went well, what didn't, and what could be improved for future projects. It's a learning opportunity that can lead to process improvement and greater efficiency in future projects.
