PRINCE2F PRINCE2 Processes Practice Question
During the Closing a Project process, what must be produced to confirm that the project has delivered what was expected?
⚠ Common exam trap
PRINCE2F often tests the confusion between the End Project Report (confirms delivery) and the Benefits Realisation Plan (describes future benefit measurement), causing candidates to pick the plan when asked about confirming delivery.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
End Project Report
The End Project Report is produced during Closing a Project and provides the Project Board with confirmation that the project has delivered what was expected, including a review of the Project Initiation Documentation and the Business Case. It summarizes performance against the project's baselines and confirms acceptance of the project product. This report is the formal mechanism for verifying delivery against expectations.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Lessons Report
Why it's wrong here
The Lessons Report captures experience for future projects; it does not verify delivery against the Project Product Description. It is tempting because it is a genuine Closing a Project output, and would be the right artefact when the goal is organisational learning rather than confirming the project's products were completed as specified.
- ✗
Benefits Realisation Plan
Why it's wrong here
The Benefits Realisation Plan is created during Starting Up a Project and updated throughout; it forecasts benefits rather than confirming delivery. It is tempting because benefits relate to expected outcomes. Closing a Project instead produces the End Project Report, which confirms delivery against the Project Initiation Documentation.
- ✓
End Project Report
Why this is correct
The End Project Report is the PRINCE2 baseline product of Closing a Project. It records actual versus planned performance and confirms the project delivered the expected products, satisfying the stem's requirement to verify delivery against expectations before the project closes.
- ✗
Project Product Description
Why it's wrong here
The Project Product Description was written during Start Up and defines the project's product scope and acceptance criteria; it is an input to, not an output of, Closing a Project. It is tempting because it does state what was expected, and would be the right artefact when defining acceptance criteria at project initiation.

These questions test the same concept from different angles. Work through them to make sure you can recognise it however the exam phrases it.
Variation 1. During the Closing a Project process, which document is used to confirm that the project's products have been accepted?
hard- A.Project Product Description
- ✓ B.End Project Report
- C.Benefits Management Approach
- D.Lessons Report
Why B: During the Closing a Project process, the End Project Report is used to confirm that the project's products have been accepted. It summarizes the project's performance, including whether the products met their acceptance criteria and were formally accepted by the customer or user. This report is a key input to the Project Board's decision to authorize project closure.
Variation 2. In the Closing a Project process, which document confirms that the project's products have been accepted?
hard- A.Lessons Report
- ✓ B.End Project Report
- C.Project Initiation Documentation
- D.Benefits Management Approach
Why B: The End Project Report is the document that formally confirms the project's products have been accepted. It is produced during the Closing a Project process and includes a summary of the project's achievements, including product acceptance records, to provide a formal basis for project closure.
Variation 3. During the Closing a Project process, what is the purpose of the End Project Report?
medium- A.To obtain approval for the next stage
- B.To hand over products to the customer
- C.To update the Business Case
- ✓ D.To summarise project performance and lessons learned
Why D: The End Project Report is a PRINCE2 management product created during the Closing a Project process. Its core purpose is to provide the Project Board with a summary of the project's overall performance against its baseline (scope, time, cost, quality, benefits) and to capture lessons learned for future projects. It also confirms the project's final status and supports the Project Board's decision to authorize project closure. Option D accurately captures this dual role of performance summary and lessons documentation.
Variation 4. In the Closing a Project process, what is the Project Manager responsible for producing?
medium- ✓ A.End Project Report
- B.Stage Plan
- C.Benefits Review Plan
- D.Project Brief
Why A: In the Closing a Project process, the Project Manager is responsible for producing the End Project Report. This report summarizes the project's performance against the original Business Case, including whether the project achieved its objectives and delivered the expected benefits. It also provides information for the post-project Benefits Review Plan.
Variation 5. A project is in the Closing a Project process. What should the Project Manager produce to recommend project closure?
medium- A.Exception Report
- ✓ B.End Project Report
- C.End Stage Report
- D.Project Brief
Why B: The End Project Report is the PRINCE2 management product produced during the Closing a Project process to recommend project closure. It summarizes the project's performance against the Project Initiation Documentation (PID), confirms acceptance of products, and provides the recommendation to the Project Board to close the project. It is the formal document that triggers the closure decision.
