PRINCE2F PRINCE2 Processes Practice Question
Which TWO documents are produced during the Closing a Project process?
⚠ Common exam trap
PRINCE2F often tests confusion between management products produced at different process stages — candidates must map each document to its originating process, not just its general purpose.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
Lessons Report
The Lessons Report (B) is produced during Closing a Project as part of the 'Evaluate the project' activity, capturing lessons learned for the organization's lessons log. The End Project Report (D) is also produced in Closing a Project, providing a final assessment of the project's performance against its baselines and confirming the project's outcome. The Project Brief (A) is created in Pre-Project during Starting up a Project, not at closure. The Stage Plan (C) is produced during Managing a Stage Boundary for the next stage, not in Closing a Project. The Project Initiation Documentation (E) is assembled during Initiating a Project, well before closure.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Project Brief
Why it's wrong here
The Project Brief is produced during Starting up a Project, before the project mandate is expanded, so it cannot be created at closure. It tempts because closure documentation references the Brief's original objectives when evaluating whether the project delivered its intended outcomes.
- ✓
Lessons Report
Why this is correct
The Lessons Report is created during Closing a Project, capturing lessons learned throughout the project for the organisation's lessons log. It fulfils the process's requirement to pass on improvement knowledge before the project team disbands.
- ✗
Stage Plan
Why it's wrong here
The Stage Plan is created during Managing a Stage Boundary for the next stage, not during Closing a Project. It tempts because the final stage's plan is reviewed when confirming completion, yet the closure process itself produces the End Project Report and Lessons Report.
- ✓
End Project Report
Why this is correct
The End Project Report is produced during Closing a Project, summarising actual versus planned performance and confirming whether the project delivered its objectives. It supports the project board's authorisation to close, satisfying the process's requirement for a formal closure record.
- ✗
Project Initiation Documentation (PID)
Why it's wrong here
The Project Initiation Documentation is assembled during Initiating a Project, long before closure, so it is not a Closing a Project output. It tempts because closure compares actual results against the PID's baselines, but the documents produced are the End Project Report and Lessons Report.

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 TWO of the following are outputs of the Closing a Project process?
medium- A.Business Case
- B.Project Plan
- ✓ C.End Project Report
- D.Stage Plan
- ✓ E.Lessons Report
Why C: The Closing a Project process in PRINCE2 produces the End Project Report (option C), which reviews the project's overall performance against its baselines and provides the Project Board with the information needed to confirm project closure. It also produces the Lessons Report (option E), which captures lessons learned throughout the project so they can be fed back into the organization's lessons log for future projects. The Business Case (option A) is a baseline document created and maintained throughout the project, not an output of Closing a Project, though it is reviewed during closure. The Project Plan (option B) is an initiation-stage product that is updated as the project progresses, not generated by the closing process. The Stage Plan (option D) is produced during Managing a Stage Boundary for the next stage, not by Closing a Project.
Variation 2. Which TWO of the following are outputs of the Closing a Project process?
medium- ✓ A.Lessons Report
- B.Updated Project Plan
- C.Updated Business Case
- D.Stage Plan for the next stage
- ✓ E.End Project Report
Why A: In PRINCE2, the Closing a Project process produces two key management products among its outputs: the Lessons Report (option A) and the End Project Report (option E). The Lessons Report (A) is correct because Closing a Project explicitly captures and documents lessons learned throughout the project so they can be fed into the organization's lessons log for future projects. The End Project Report (E) is correct because it is the primary output of the Closing a Project process, summarizing project performance against the original Project Initiation Documentation, including the Business Case, and providing the Project Board with the information needed to authorize project closure. Option B (Updated Project Plan) is not an output of Closing a Project, as the Project Plan is maintained during the Managing a Stage Boundary and Controlling a Stage processes, not at closure. Option C (Updated Business Case) is not produced by Closing a Project; the Business Case is updated at stage boundaries and reviewed, not revised, during closure. Option D (Stage Plan for the next stage) is an output of Managing a Stage Boundary, not Closing a Project, since no next stage exists once the project is being closed.
