Camilo Hwang is closing out a game development project at Parallax Studios. Match each project closure activity on the left with its primary purpose on the right. Items: 1. Archiving project documents 2. Releasing project resources 3. Conducting lessons learned 4. Obtaining formal acceptance Which option correctly matches each item to its description?
Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: 1. Archiving project documents → Preserving project information for future reference and compliance 2. Releasing project resources → Making team members available for other work and returning equipment 3. Conducting lessons learned → Capturing what went well and what could be improved for future projects 4. Obtaining formal acceptance → Confirming deliverables meet requirements and closing the project officially

Explanation

Archiving documents preserves information for organizational learning and compliance. Releasing resources frees people and equipment for new assignments. Lessons learned capture knowledge to improve future performance. Formal acceptance confirms the customer/sponsor agrees deliverables are complete and satisfactory, which officially closes the project.

**Why not B:** This option swaps archiving with lessons learned and resource release with formal acceptance. Archiving preserves documents for future reference, not captures improvement knowledge. Releasing resources frees people for new work, not confirms deliverable acceptance.

**Why not C:** This option mismatches all four items. Archiving is not about freeing resources, releasing resources is not about capturing knowledge, lessons learned are not about confirming requirements, and formal acceptance is not about preserving documents.

**Why not D:** This option incorrectly assigns formal acceptance purposes to archiving and document preservation to formal acceptance. Archiving preserves information for future reference, while formal acceptance confirms deliverables meet requirements and officially closes the project.
