PRINCE2F PRINCE2 Processes Practice Question
What is the purpose of the Closing a Project process?
⚠ Common exam trap
Test-takers frequently confuse the Closing a Project process with the Managing a Stage Boundary process, mistakenly thinking that closing a project involves planning the next stage, when in fact it is about finalizing all project activities and setting up for post-project benefits reviews.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
To ensure the project completes and that benefits are reviewed after closure
The Closing a Project process is designed to provide a fixed point to verify that the project has delivered its products, confirm that the project's objectives have been met, and ensure that the project's benefits are reviewed after closure. It also triggers the formal handover of products and the closure of the project, including the creation of the End Project Report and the Lessons Log.
