GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)

Bus/Financial - Business/Commerce (general) / project management manual
Italian term or phrase: al termine dello stesso
"Il comitato organizzativo si occupa di fare in modo che i processi e le procedure INFORMATICHE ingaggiate dal Iniziativa/Progetto funzionino correttamente ***al termine dello stesso***, collaborando con i referenti del comitato di gestione per le singole tematiche."
...
I assume they must be using 'termine' to mean something like 'goal' or 'purpose', as I can't see why they would only be interested in seeing that the procedures were working at the end of the project (as presumably they should be working throughout). Any ideas?
...
TIA :o)

Thanks Tom (and endorsers). This makes sense to me when considering the processi and procedure as being part of the product of the project rather than part of the temporary machinery needed to carry it out, which is what I think they must be getting at.

Explanation:
"termine" is the end in this context, whatever the logic. I can't imagine anything else.

agree  Michael Korovkin: This leaves a good leeway for interpretation and yet sticks very close to the original text. I would definitely use this option rather than going for a narrower one – "at the end of"
