PMP Practice Question 1313 - Business Environment
A project has come to the closing stage. The work is generally finished, and the project manager wants to commence the closure process for the project. What should the project manager ensure is in place prior to the closing process?
- ✓ Correct A.The contractual deliverables of the project have been accepted.
- B.It The handover and deliverable acceptance have been completed.
- C.The lessons learned sessions have been conducted.
- D.The organizational process assets (OPAs) have been updated.
Correct answer: A
Explanation
Before commencing the closing process, the project manager must ensure that the contractual deliverables of the project have been accepted. Formal sign-off and acceptance by the customer is the most critical prerequisite for closure—projects are initiated based on business needs and customer requirements, so the project cannot be closed until the customer accepts the final outputs. Completing handover and deliverable acceptance (B) is part of the broader closure but follows formal acceptance. Conducting lessons learned sessions (C) is a closing activity, not a prerequisite. Updating OPAs (D) occurs during or after closing, not before.
