A project manager is performing the Close Project or Phase process. Which of the following is a primary output of this process?
- AChange Requests
- BWork Performance Information
- CFinal Product, Service, or Result Transition
- DProject Charter
Show answer & explanationAnswer & explanation
Correct answer: C. Final Product, Service, or Result Transition
The Close Project or Phase process involves finalizing all activities across all Project Management Process Groups to formally complete the project or phase. A key output is the formal handover of the final product, service, or result to the appropriate operational group or customer, known as the Final Product, Service, or Result Transition.
Why the other options are wrong
- A. Change Requests are outputs of various monitoring and controlling processes, not Close Project or Phase.
- B. Work Performance Information is an output of Direct and Manage Project Work and Monitor and Control Project Work, not Close Project or Phase.
- D. Project Charter is an input to the project, created during Initiating.
Close Project or Phase
The process of finalizing all activities across all Project Management Process Groups to formally complete the project or phase.
- Formalizes project or phase completion.
- Includes activities like administrative closure and contract closure.
- Results in formal acceptance and transition of deliverables.
Memory trick: Closure: Lessons Learned, Final Report, Product Handed Over, Contracts Closed.
