Define the key objectives of the
Close Project or Phase process.
Closing • Integration Mgmt. • Close Project or Phase
Finalize all activities of the
project, phase, or contract
–Archive all project or phase
information
–Formally close the project, phase,
or contract
–Release all organization team
resources
Describe why the Close Project
or Phase process is an ideal
integration management process.
Closing • Integration Mgmt. • Close Project or Phase
The Close Project process is ideally an integration management process in that it consolidates the planned work and all documents and translates them into a final form that satisfies the customer and records information for further learning.
In executing the Close Project process, you have
created a final project report, transferred the final
product to the ownership of the customer, and
dismissed your project team. You believe that you
can now formally close the project. What activity
have you forgotten to complete?
A) Obtain approval from the project sponsor
B) Formally acknowledge the success of the team
C) Complete and archive the lessons learned
register and all project documents
D) Close the charter document
Closing • Integration Mgmt. • Close Project or Phase
C) Complete and archive the
lessons learned register and all
project documents
To fully complete the Close Project or
Phase process, you must ensure that
all project documents are updated,
marked as final, and archived.
Which term is used to describe project deliverables after they have been inspected and approved by the customer as having met the acceptance criteria?
Closing • Integration Mgmt. • Close Project or Phase
Accepted deliverable
In closing the project, the project manager reviews the \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ to ensure that all project work is complete and the project has met its objectives.
Closing • Integration Mgmt. • Close Project or Phase
Project management plans
Projects that are terminated before all the work is completed do not require the Close Project process. True or False: Closing • Integration Mgmt. • Close Project or Phase
False Every project, whether completed or prematurely terminated, must be formally closed. For projects terminated before completion, the close project or phase process investigates and documents the reasons for termination.
While developing the final report for formal project closure, you utilize which project document to demonstrate compliance with the project scope?
Closing • Integration Mgmt. • Close Project or Phase
Requirements documentation
The requirements documentation created during the Collect Requirements process describes how individual requirements meet the business need for the project.
Due to a company reorganization, the project sponsor was recently terminated and the project was canceled. What action should the project manager take first upon
being informed of this?
Closing • Integration Mgmt. • Close Project or Phase
Conduct lessons learned
Regardless of whether a project is completed fully or terminated before completion, lessons learned
must be captured and recorded. These lessons learned help to inform future projects.
The Close Project or Phase process
is ________ the finalization of all processes and process groups.
Closing • Integration Mgmt. • Close Project or Phase
Formal finalization The Close Project or Phase process is the formal finalization of all processes and process groups.
Which three outputs must be
completed before a project is
properly closed?
Closing • Integration Mgmt. • Close Project or Phase
-- Final product, service, or results officially transferred to the customer -- Project documents updated and marked as final -- Final report created
The Close Project process is where the final product is actually handed over to the customer. In which process did the customer approve the project deliverable? Closing • Integration Mgmt. • Close Project or Phase
Validate Scope
The customer formally approves
the project deliverables in the
Validate Scope process.
Of the four data analysis techniques used
in the Close Project or Phase process, which
technique is focused on identifying lessons
learned and knowledge sharing opportunities
to help improve future projects?
A) Document analysis
B) Regression analysis
C) Trend analysis
D) Variance analysis
Closing • Integration Mgmt. • Close Project or Phase
A) Document analysis Document analysis is a technique that helps identify lessons learned for future projects.
When using , \_\_\_\_\_\_the interrelationships between project variables are analyzed to identify opportunities to improve the performance of future projects. Closing • Integration Mgmt. • Close Project or Phase
Regression analysis
You inform your team that a critical output of the Close
Project process is the completion and archival of the lessons learned register. What is the main reason why ensuring that the register is updated and archived important?
A) To create a means of identifying talented individuals that
can assist in future projects
B) To identify and make easily available improvement ideas
that can be used on comparable projects
C) The project cannot be formally closed until every output
is produced
D) To highlight the largest risks and opportunities that were
overcome during the project
Closing • Integration Mgmt. • Close Project or Phase
B) To identify and make easily available improvement ideas that can be used on comparable projects
After all project work is complete, it is proper to release all team members. True or False: Closing • Integration Mgmt. • Close Project or Phase
False Team members should only be released from a project after all the work is verified complete, project documents have been fully evaluated/closed out/archived, lessons learned collected/archived, the final report generated, and the final deliverable transferred to the customer.
What is the purpose of the final
report and what does it contain?
Closing • Integration Mgmt. • Close Project or Phase
The final report summarizes the project performance elements such
as benefit, cost, quality, schedule, etc.
The project manager should follow the communications plan
to ensure proper dissemination is achieved.
The final report is normally delivered to the project sponsor and
all stakeholders.
During the Close Project process, your team is investigating the project’s current risk status and
attempting to identify if there are any open risks remaining. Which project document should the team leverage to investigate these questions?
Closing • Integration Mgmt. • Close Project or Phase
Risk report The risk report provides information on the risk status and is used to check that there aren’t any open risks at the end of a project.
The Close Project process uses which of the
following tools and techniques to evaluate
that the closure activities are completed to
the appropriate levels?
A) Project management information
system
B) Expert judgement
C) Product analysis
D) Inspection
Closing • Integration Mgmt. • Close Project or Phase
B) Expert judgement Expert judgement is applied when performing administrative closure activities. These experts ensure that the project or phase is performed to the appropriate standards.
Which two logs should be analyzed
prior to closing the project?
Closing • Integration Mgmt. • Close Project or Phase
Issue log and change log The issue log should be evaluated to determine if any issues remain that may impact the success of final product transferred. In analyzing the change log, the team must confirm that all outstanding change requests are fully implemented before closing the project.
Which of the following is not an objective of the
Close Project or Phase process?
A) Transfer the finished deliverable to the
customer
B) Obtain customer approval of the project
deliverables
C) Obtain verification from the customer
that they accept the project deliverables
D) Update and archive all project documents
and OPAs
Closing • Integration Mgmt. • Close Project or Phase
B) Obtain customer approval of the project deliverables Customer approval is obtained during the Validate Scope process.
