The closing phase of a project is the final stage of the project life cycle, in which the project is completed and delivered to the client or stakeholder. The activities associated with this phase include wrapping up loose ends and ensuring that all project objectives have been achieved. Two of the activities that are commonly associated with the closing phase of a project are:
B. Archiving of project documents: This activity involves the organization, storage, and retention of all project documentation. This documentation includes the project charter, project plan, project schedule, project budget, project status reports, change requests, issue logs, and any other project-related documents. Archiving these documents ensures that they can be easily accessed in the future if needed, and also provides a record of the project for future reference.
D. Lessons learned: This activity involves capturing and documenting the knowledge gained during the project. This includes both positive and negative experiences and outcomes, and identifies opportunities for improvement in future projects. Lessons learned can be collected through interviews, surveys, focus groups, and other feedback mechanisms. The information collected during this activity is used to improve the project management processes and practices for future projects.
While the other activities listed (risk mitigation, tracking of expenditures, and quality assurance) are important project management activities, they are not specifically associated with the closing phase of a project. Risk mitigation and quality assurance are ongoing activities throughout the project life cycle, while tracking of expenditures is typically done throughout the project to ensure that the project is staying within budget.
