Program Management Professional (PgMP) — Question 239

XYZ Company hires you to make its transitioning procedure more effective in meeting close-out requirements. You review XYZ's transitioning procedures to eliminate any that do not belong in the close-out phase.
Which of the following procedures should you remove?

Answer options

• A. Managing the transition from the ג€As-Isג€ state to the ג€To-Beג€ or Target State
• B. Reviewing the status of benefits with the stakeholders and program sponsor
• C. Managing any required transition to operations
• D. Documenting lessons learned in the organizational database

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because managing the transition from the 'As-Is' state to the 'To-Be' state is typically part of the initial phases of a project, not the close-out phase. The other options (B, C, and D) are indeed relevant to the close-out process, involving benefit reviews, operational transitions, and documenting lessons learned, all of which are essential for closing out a project successfully.
