PRINCE2 Foundation — Question 293

Which TWO are objectives of the ‘closing a project’ process?

1. To confirm to the project board that each stage’s products are approved
2. To review whether the project was delivered within time and cost tolerances
3. To confirm whether operational staff are happy to take ownership of the products
4. To confirm that there is authority to close the project

Answer options

• A. 1 and 2
• B. 2 and 3
• C. 3 and 4
• D. 1 and 4

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, as reviewing whether the project was delivered within time and cost tolerances and confirming operational staff's willingness to take ownership are essential for assessing project success and transition. Options A and D focus on confirming approvals and authority, which are important but do not encapsulate the broader review of project performance and stakeholder satisfaction. Option C is incorrect as it includes confirming staff happiness, which is only part of the objectives.
