PRINCE2F PRINCE2 Processes Practice Question
A PRINCE2 project is in the Closing a Project process. The Project Manager is preparing for the final closure. Which activity is performed during this process?
⚠ Common exam trap

Correct answer & explanation
✓
Confirm that all products have been delivered and accepted.
In Closing a Project, the Project Manager confirms that all products have been delivered and accepted according to the quality criteria. This activity ensures that the project has met its objectives and that there are no outstanding issues. The Project Board then authorises project closure based on the End Project Report. Handing over products occurs in Managing Product Delivery, and preparing the next Stage Plan is part of Managing a Stage Boundary.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Authorise the project closure.
Why it's wrong here
Authorising project closure is a Project Board activity within the Directing a Project process. The Project Board reviews the End Project Report and gives final approval to close the project. In Closing a Project, the Project Manager prepares the necessary information for this decision, but does not authorise it. This option misassigns the authority.
- ✓
Confirm that all products have been delivered and accepted.
Why this is correct
Confirming that all products have been delivered and accepted is a key activity in Closing a Project. The Project Manager ensures that all outputs meet the agreed quality criteria and have been formally accepted by the customer or operational environment. This confirmation is essential before the project can be closed, as it verifies that the project has achieved its objectives.
- ✗
Prepare the next Stage Plan.
Why it's wrong here
Preparing the next Stage Plan is an activity of Managing a Stage Boundary, which occurs at the end of each stage except the final stage. Closing a Project is the final process, so there is no next stage to plan for. This option incorrectly applies a stage boundary activity to project closure.
- ✗
Hand over the project's products to the operational environment.
Why it's wrong here
Handing over products to the operational environment is part of the Managing Product Delivery process, where work packages are delivered and accepted. In Closing a Project, the focus is on confirming that all products have been handed over and accepted, not performing the handover itself. This option confuses the delivery process with the closure process.
