Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
To ensure the project is closed in a controlled way
Why this is correct
Correct. Closing a Project provides controlled closure.
- ✗
To plan the next stage of the project
Why it's wrong here
Planning the next stage is the function of the Managing a Stage Boundary process, not Closing a Project. The purpose of Closing a Project is to verify that all project products have been accepted and to formally decommission the project, releasing resources and evaluating performance. This option is tempting because both processes involve forward-looking activities; however, Closing a Project focuses on project closure and benefits review planning, whereas stage boundary planning occurs at the end of each management stage to authorise the next.
- ✗
To authorize the start of the project
Why it's wrong here
That is the purpose of Directing a Project.
- ✗
To manage day-to-day activities in a stage
Why it's wrong here
That is the purpose of Controlling a Stage.
