PRINCE2F PRINCE2 Processes Practice Question
Which TWO activities are part of the Closing a Project process?
⚠ Common exam trap
PeopleCert often tests the distinction between the Closing a Project process and other processes like Managing a Stage Boundary or Controlling a Stage, so candidates may confuse activities that occur at stage boundaries (e.g., planning the next stage) with those that finalize the entire project.
Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
Evaluate the project and document lessons learned.
Evaluating the project and documenting lessons learned is a key activity in the Closing a Project process, as it captures knowledge for future projects. Option D is correct because preparing the End Project Report is also a mandatory activity in this process, providing a final assessment of project performance against the business case and plans.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Create the project plan.
Why it's wrong here
Creating the project plan happens in Initiating a Project, where the Project Initiation Documentation is assembled and the plan baselined. It is tempting because closing does involve reviewing the plan, yet that review is the End Project Report and Lessons Report, not authoring a new plan.
- ✗
Plan the next stage.
Why it's wrong here
Planning the next stage is an activity of Managing a Stage Boundary, triggered when the current stage nears completion and the next Stage Plan is required. It is tempting because both processes sit at stage end, but Closing a Project handles the final stage, where no subsequent stage plan is produced.
- ✓
Evaluate the project and document lessons learned.
Why this is correct
Closing a Project requires evaluating the project against its original baselines and documenting lessons learned for the organisation's knowledge base. This satisfies the process's purpose of confirming acceptance, reviewing performance and capturing improvement points before the project team disbands.
- ✓
Prepare the End Project Report.
Why this is correct
The End Project Report is a baseline management product produced during Closing a Project, summarising performance against the Project Initiation Documentation and confirming handover. It satisfies the process's requirement to formally record final project status for the project board.
- ✗
Approve work packages.
Why it's wrong here
Work package approval belongs to Controlling a Stage, where the Project Manager authorises work packages and the Team Manager accepts them. It is tempting because closure does confirm all work is complete, but that is done through the project closure notification and acceptance records, not by approving work packages.
