Program Management Professional (PgMP) — Question 104

When should a program manager approve the closure of a component project?

Answer options

• A. When acceptance criteria of the project are met
• B. When the project has delivered the project benefits
• C. When program deliverables are complete
• D. When project deliverables are complete

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because the closure of a component project should only happen once the acceptance criteria have been fulfilled, ensuring all necessary requirements are satisfied. Options B, C, and D do not necessarily ensure that the project has met all specified criteria for acceptance, which is critical for officially closing the project.
