CAPM Practice: Demonstrate an understanding of project management planning

Documenting lessons learned and archiving project records are critical closure activities that preserve organizational knowledge for future projects. This enables continuous improvement and provides valuable reference information even as the project transitions to operations.

**Why not A:** Immediately closing all vendor contracts may not be appropriate, especially if the old system requires vendor support during the six-month read-only period. Contract closure should be handled carefully to ensure all obligations are met and warranties maintained.

**Why not B:** Keeping the entire project team together until system decommissioning is unnecessary and costly. The project deliverables are complete, and the read-only maintenance is an operational activity. Team members should be released to other projects as the project closes.

**Why not D:** Deleting project documentation would destroy valuable organizational knowledge and likely violate regulatory and organizational policies. Project records should be archived, not deleted, to support future projects, audits, and compliance requirements.
