PRINCE2F PRINCE2 Processes Practice Question
A project is approaching the end of its final stage. The Project Manager has confirmed that all products have been delivered and accepted, and the Benefits Review Plan has been updated. Which activity belongs to the Closing a Project process rather than to the final stage's Controlling a Stage activities?
⚠ Common exam trap
The trap here is treating all end-of-project paperwork as generic project administration, when the End Project Report is a specific product of the Closing a Project process, distinct from the ongoing control products used during the final stage.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
Preparing the End Project Report for the Project Board.
Closing a Project contains its own set of activities that confirm acceptance, review the Business Case, prepare the End Project Report, capture lessons learned and plan benefits realisation. Producing the End Project Report is unique to this process, whereas reviewing Work Packages, authorising work and reacting to Checkpoint Reports are all routine activities of Controlling a Stage during delivery.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Authorising a new Work Package for a remaining specialist deliverable.
Why it's wrong here
Authorising Work Packages is part of Controlling a Stage, where the Project Manager decomposes the Stage Plan and issues work to Team Managers. It occurs while the stage is executing. Since the scenario states that all products have already been delivered and accepted, no new Work Package authorisation would be part of the closure process.
- ✓
Preparing the End Project Report for the Project Board.
Why this is correct
The End Project Report is produced specifically during Closing a Project. It summarises project performance against the Project Initiation Documentation, records the final version of the Business Case and confirms whether the project has delivered what it set out to achieve. Preparing it is a dedicated closure activity, not part of the routine monitoring and control performed while the final stage is still running.
- ✗
Taking corrective action after a Checkpoint Report shows a schedule slippage.
Why it's wrong here
Reacting to Checkpoint Reports and taking corrective action are ongoing Controlling a Stage responsibilities. Checkpoint Reports feed progress information from Team Managers to the Project Manager during delivery. Once all products are accepted and the project is being closed, this monitoring loop has effectively finished, so this activity does not belong to Closing a Project.
- ✗
Reviewing Work Package status and updating the Stage Plan during the final stage.
Why it's wrong here
Reviewing Work Package progress and maintaining the Stage Plan are core Controlling a Stage activities performed throughout every stage, including the final one. They happen while work is still being delivered, before closure begins. This activity therefore belongs to stage control, not to the dedicated closure process that starts once the products are complete and accepted.
