Correct answer & explanation
✓
Produce the End Project Report
CP includes handing over products, producing the End Project Report, and recommending closure. Authorizing closure is done by the Board in DP; authorizing Work Packages is done in CS.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
Produce the End Project Report
Why this is correct
Producing the End Project Report is a core Closing a Project activity, satisfying the process's requirement to evaluate the project against its baseline and record performance. The report captures the project's achievements, deviations and lessons, providing the Project Board with the evidence needed to authorise project closure and confirm benefits realisation.
- ✓
Recommend project closure
Why this is correct
Recommending project closure is a core activity of the Closing a Project process, satisfying the stem's requirement for activities performed there. The project manager confirms the project has delivered its products and no further work is justified, then requests the project board's authorisation to close, feeding into the closure recommendation.
- ✓
Hand over products to the customer
Why this is correct
Handing over products to the customer occurs during Closing a Project, satisfying the requirement to transfer ownership and confirm operational acceptance before the project closes. This activity ensures the customer formally receives the outputs, enabling the project board to verify that the products meet agreed acceptance criteria and that benefits can subsequently be realised.
- ✗
Authorize project closure
Why it's wrong here
Authorising project closure is a Directing a Project activity performed by the Project Board, not part of the Closing a Project process. It is tempting because closure culminates in project acceptance, yet the board's authorisation sits in the directing layer, while Closing a Project prepares the closure recommendation.
- ✗
Authorize Work Packages
Why it's wrong here
Authorising Work Packages belongs to Controlling a Stage, where the Project Manager approves and issues work. It is tempting because closure also involves work packages, but there the activity is confirming acceptance of products, not authorising new ones; no further work is commissioned during closure.

Same concept, more angles
2 more ways this is tested on PRINCE2F
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. Which process ensures that the project's products are formally accepted and the project is closed in a controlled way?
easy- ✓ A.Closing a Project
- B.Managing a Stage Boundary
- C.Controlling a Stage
- D.Directing a Project
Why A: In PRINCE2, the 'Closing a Project' process is specifically designed to ensure that the project's products are formally accepted and the project is closed in a controlled manner. It covers activities like preparing planned closure, handing over products, evaluating the project, and recommending project closure.
Variation 2. Which TWO of the following are typical activities in the Closing a Project process?
easy- A.Update the Project Brief
- B.Produce the End Stage Report
- C.Authorize the next stage
- ✓ D.Hand over the project's products to the operational environment
- ✓ E.Produce the Lessons Report
Why D: Option D is correct because handing over the project's products to the operational environment is a core activity of the Closing a Project process, ensuring the products are transitioned to those who will use and support them after the project ends. Option E is correct because producing the Lessons Report is a typical Closing a Project activity, capturing lessons learned to feed into future projects and corporate knowledge. Option A is not correct because updating the Project Brief is a Starting up a Project activity, not part of Closing a Project. Option B is not correct because producing the End Stage Report is a Managing a Stage Boundary activity, used to report on a stage's performance and seek approval for the next stage. Option C is not correct because authorizing the next stage is a Directing a Project activity, not part of Closing a Project.
