CAPM Practice: Demonstrate an understanding of project management planning

Project closure involves formally completing all project work, obtaining acceptance of deliverables, transferring the completed product or service, releasing project resources, and documenting lessons learned. This ensures proper project completion and captures knowledge for future projects.

**Why not A:** Identifying team assignments for the next project is a resource management activity, not the primary purpose of closure. While resource release happens during closure, the focus is on completing current project activities, not planning future staffing.

**Why not C:** Archiving documents is one activity within project closure, but it is not the primary purpose. Closure encompasses much more, including obtaining formal acceptance, documenting lessons learned, and releasing resources — archiving is just one part of a broader set of closure activities.

**Why not D:** Evaluating team performance and determining bonuses are human resource management activities, not the primary purpose of project closure. Performance evaluations may occur during closure, but they are not what defines the closure process.
