Match each project closure activity on the left with its primary purpose on the right. Items: 1. Final project report 2. Lessons learned documentation 3. Formal acceptance sign-off 4. Resource release 5. Archive project documents Which option correctly matches each item to its description?
Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: 1. Final project report → Summarize project performance against baselines and objectives 2. Lessons learned documentation → Capture knowledge to improve future project performance 3. Formal acceptance sign-off → Confirm deliverables meet acceptance criteria and customer approves 4. Resource release → Transfer team members back to functional areas or other projects 5. Archive project documents → Preserve records for organizational reference and compliance

Explanation

Project closure involves multiple activities that ensure proper completion and transition. The final report summarizes how the project performed. Lessons learned capture what worked well and what could improve. Formal acceptance confirms the customer agrees deliverables are complete. Resource release returns team members to their home organizations. Archiving preserves important documentation for future reference, audits, or organizational learning.

**Why not A:** This option incorrectly matches the final project report to confirming deliverables meet acceptance criteria (that is formal acceptance sign-off), and misassigns nearly every other activity. For example, it places resource release as summarizing project performance, which is the purpose of the final report.

**Why not B:** This option incorrectly assigns the final project report to capturing knowledge (that is lessons learned) and mismatches formal acceptance sign-off to transferring team members (that is resource release). The pairings are systematically shifted from their correct positions.

**Why not D:** This option incorrectly assigns the final project report to preserving records (that is archiving), and places archiving as summarizing project performance (that is the final report). While lessons learned and formal acceptance are correct, the other mismatches make this option wrong.
