PRINCE2F PRINCE2 Processes Practice Question
A Project Manager is preparing to close a project. The Project Board has confirmed that the project's products have been handed over to the operational and maintenance environment. Which activity is part of the Closing a Project process?
⚠ Common exam trap
Many exam-takers confuse stage-level planning or initiation activities with project closure, when Closing a Project is specifically about confirming handover and evaluating the project against its Business Case.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
Producing the End Project Report and evaluating the project against its Business Case
Closing a Project involves confirming that all products have been handed over, evaluating the project against its Business Case, and producing the End Project Report. These activities ensure the Project Board can confirm that the project's objectives have been met and that there are no outstanding issues before authorising closure.
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 the next stage and updating the Project Plan with the latest actuals
Why it's wrong here
Authorising the next stage occurs during Managing a Stage Boundary, not Closing a Project. Updating the Project Plan with actuals is part of stage boundary and progress reporting activities. Closing a Project focuses on confirming handover, evaluating the project, and preparing the End Project Report.
- ✓
Producing the End Project Report and evaluating the project against its Business Case
Why this is correct
Closing a Project includes activities to confirm handover, evaluate the project against its Business Case, and produce the End Project Report. This report summarises performance against the project's objectives, benefits, and tolerances, providing the Project Board with the information needed to authorise project closure.
- ✗
Producing the Stage Plan for the final stage and updating the Risk Register
Why it's wrong here
Stage Plans are produced during Managing a Stage Boundary, not Closing a Project. While the Risk Register is reviewed and updated throughout the project, producing a Stage Plan for the final stage is not an activity of Closing a Project, which deals with project closure rather than stage planning.
- ✗
Creating the Project Initiation Documentation and securing Project Board approval
Why it's wrong here
Creating the Project Initiation Documentation occurs during Initiating a Project, where the Project Board approves the project's baseline. Closing a Project is the final process, concerned with confirming that the project has delivered its products and that the Business Case is satisfied or can be closed.
