Yuna Jeong is transitioning from project execution to project closure. Match each closure activity on the left with its PRIMARY purpose on the right. Items: 1. Formal acceptance 2. Lessons learned documentation 3. Archive project documents 4. Release resources Which option correctly matches each item to its description?
Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: 1. Formal acceptance → Obtain stakeholder confirmation that deliverables meet acceptance criteria 2. Lessons learned documentation → Capture knowledge for future projects and continuous improvement 3. Archive project documents → Preserve project information for organizational reference and compliance 4. Release resources → Make team members and equipment available for other work

Explanation

Formal acceptance involves getting stakeholder sign-off that deliverables meet requirements. Lessons learned capture what went well and what could be improved for organizational learning. Archiving documents preserves project records for future reference, audits, and compliance. Releasing resources returns people and equipment to the resource pool or their functional areas so they can be assigned to new work.

**Why not A:** This option reverses all four matches. It assigns lessons learned purposes to formal acceptance, archiving purposes to lessons learned, resource release purposes to archiving, and formal acceptance purposes to resource release — none of which are correct.

**Why not B:** This option incorrectly assigns archiving purposes to formal acceptance, resource release purposes to lessons learned, formal acceptance purposes to archiving, and lessons learned purposes to resource release. Each activity has a distinct purpose that this arrangement misidentifies.

**Why not D:** This option incorrectly assigns resource release purposes to formal acceptance and formal acceptance purposes to resource release. Formal acceptance is about confirming deliverables meet requirements, not about making team members available, and resource release is about freeing resources, not about stakeholder sign-off.
