Archiving project documents 3. Releasing project resources 4. Conducting lessons learned Which option correctly matches each item to its description?
Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: 1. Obtaining formal acceptance → Confirming deliverables meet requirements and transferring ownership 2. Archiving project documents → Preserving project information for organizational knowledge and future reference 3. Releasing project resources → Returning team members and equipment to their functional areas or other projects 4. Conducting lessons learned → Capturing insights and recommendations to improve future project performance

Explanation

Project closure involves multiple activities that formalize completion and transition. Formal acceptance ensures deliverables meet agreed requirements and transfers responsibility to the customer or operations. Document archiving preserves institutional knowledge. Resource release allows team members and assets to be reassigned. Lessons learned capture what worked well and what could be improved, benefiting future projects and building organizational process assets.

**Why not A:** This option reverses formal acceptance and lessons learned, assigning knowledge capture to formal acceptance and deliverable confirmation to lessons learned. Formal acceptance is about stakeholder sign-off, while lessons learned are about capturing project insights.

**Why not C:** This option assigns archiving purposes to lessons learned and lessons learned purposes to archiving. Archiving preserves project records for future reference, while lessons learned capture actionable insights and recommendations for improvement.

**Why not D:** This option assigns resource release purposes to formal acceptance and formal acceptance purposes to resource release. Formal acceptance confirms deliverables meet requirements, while resource release returns team members to their functional areas.
