Lesson 88. Closing a project, context

Question 1

Why has the benefits management approach document been updated in this process?

Answer 1

The benefits management approach document has been updated as some benefits may have been realized during the project and to plan the benefits review meetings that will take place in the future.

This ensures that the benefits management remains relevant and aligned with the project’s outcomes.

Question 2

Which documents are mainly used when evaluating the project?

Answer 2

The baseline project plan and business case from the initiation stage are compared with the same documents at the end of the project to see how the project performed.

This comparison helps assess project success and areas for improvement.

Question 3

What is usually the last activity the project manager will do at the end of the project?

Answer 3

The project manager will request the project board to close the project.

This formal closure is crucial for project documentation and stakeholder communication.

Question 4

Which documents will describe the approach that should be taken to archive the project documentation at the end of the project?

Answer 4

One purpose of the digital and data management approach is to describe how data and information will be created, used, and managed across the project ecosystem, through the project lifecycle, and afterward.

This approach ensures that project documentation is systematically archived and accessible for future reference.
