PRINCE2-PRACTITIONER Practices Practice Question
A PRINCE2 project is executing its final stage. During the Closing a Project process, the Project Manager prepares the End Project Report. A key stakeholder demands that the project remain open for another three months to support post-project user adoption. According to PRINCE2, how should this be handled?
Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
Proceed with project closure, handing over operational user adoption responsibilities to operational management as outlined in the Benefits Management Approach.
Projects deliver outputs, while operations realize benefits and handle ongoing user adoption post-project. Project closure should proceed as planned, with adoption support handed over to operational management.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Transfer project executive accountability to the Senior User and keep the project open.
Why it's wrong here
Project governance roles dissolve upon project closure.
- ✗
Reject project closure and rewrite the PID into a new Stage Plan.
Why it's wrong here
Rewriting the PID at the end of a project is incorrect governance practice.
- ✓
Proceed with project closure, handing over operational user adoption responsibilities to operational management as outlined in the Benefits Management Approach.
Why this is correct
Projects close once outputs are delivered; ongoing adoption and benefits realization are operational responsibilities.
- ✗
Extend the project duration by three months to manage user adoption.
Why it's wrong here
Extending projects for post-project operational tasks violates project boundaries; projects have a defined lifecycle.
