CompTIA Project+ (PK0-005)Project Life Cycle PhasesEasy
A project manager is conducting the final review before delivering the project's completed product to the customer. All deliverables have been accepted, and the project objectives have been met. What is the primary purpose of this final review in the project life cycle?
- ATo secure additional funding for future project phases.
- BTo re-evaluate the project's feasibility study and business case.
- CTo identify new project opportunities and potential extensions.
- DTo ensure all contractual obligations are met and formal closure can begin.
Show answer & explanationAnswer & explanation
Correct answer: D. To ensure all contractual obligations are met and formal closure can begin.
The final review before delivery and closure primarily aims to ensure that all contractual obligations and requirements have been fulfilled. This confirmation is critical for formal acceptance by the customer and to officially close out the project, releasing resources and concluding agreements.
Why the other options are wrong
- A. Securing additional funding is typically part of project initiation or planning for new phases, not the final review of a completed project.
- B. Re-evaluating the feasibility study and business case is done earlier, often during initiation or planning, to justify the project, not at its conclusion.
- C. Identifying new opportunities might happen, but it's not the *primary* purpose of a final review for a nearly completed project.
Project Closure
The final phase of the project life cycle, where all activities are formally completed, and the project is officially closed.
- Involves obtaining final acceptance from the customer.
- Ensures all contractual obligations are met.
- Releases project resources and archives project documents.
Memory trick: Final review means checking off obligations for project closure.
