Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: 1. Final performance reporting → Document final project performance against the baseline 2. Archiving project documents → Ensure organizational knowledge is preserved 3. Releasing project resources → Make team members available for other work 4. Conducting lessons learned → Enable future projects to benefit from current project experiences 5. Obtaining formal acceptance → Confirm deliverables meet acceptance criteria

Explanation

Final performance reporting summarizes how the project performed against cost, schedule, scope, and quality baselines. Archiving ensures organizational knowledge retention and compliance. Releasing resources allows team members to transition to new assignments. Lessons learned capture knowledge to improve future project performance. Formal acceptance verifies that deliverables meet requirements and allows project closure.

**Why not A:** This option assigns resource release purposes to final performance reporting, lessons learned purposes to archiving, formal acceptance purposes to resource release, final reporting purposes to lessons learned, and archiving purposes to formal acceptance. All five pairings are incorrect.

**Why not B:** This option assigns archiving purposes to final performance reporting, resource release purposes to archiving, lessons learned purposes to resource release, formal acceptance purposes to lessons learned, and final reporting purposes to formal acceptance. All five pairings are mismatched.

**Why not C:** This option incorrectly assigns formal acceptance purposes to final performance reporting and final reporting purposes to formal acceptance. While archiving, resource release, and lessons learned are correctly matched, the swap between final reporting and formal acceptance makes this option wrong.
