Which is an objective of the Closing a Project process?

  1. Prepare the plan for the next stage
  2. Assess any benefits that have already been realized
  3. Produce a Benefits Review Plan to identify what benefits are expected
  4. Check that all benefits are realized before closing a project

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

One of the objectives of the Closing a Project process is to produce a Benefits Review Plan. This plan outlines how the benefits of the project will be measured and reviewed after the project has been closed. It is crucial for ensuring that the benefits expected from the project are tracked and assessed in the post-project phase.

Which of the following statements about the Closing a Project process are true?

1. The Closing a Project process provides a fixed point for the receipt of completed Work Packages for the work performed in the final stage.

2. The Closing a Project process provides a fixed point to review if the objectives set out in the original Project Initiation Documentation have been achieved.

  1. Only 1 is true
  2. Only 2 is true
  3. Both 1 and 2 are true
  4. Neither 1 or 2 are true

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

The statement that "The Closing a Project process provides a fixed point to review if the objectives set out in the original Project Initiation Documentation have been achieved" is true. This process is crucial for ensuring that the project has met its objectives and that all remaining project deliverables are acceptable to stakeholders. The first statement is incorrect as the receipt of completed Work Packages is typically handled during the 'Managing a Stage Boundary' process rather than in the 'Closing a Project' process.
