Hello Everyone,
I am studying for my exam and I am failing in mocks with situation questions on what to do next.
I am trying to come up a list of activities on Closing the Project and I would like to ask you to review/correct it for me - acording to PMBOK.
Closing Activities order:
1. Ensure all project work is completed and obtain formal closure (financial, legal, administrative, Audit?)
2. Transfer the ownership of the deliverables (product, service or result) - knowledge transfer
3. Obtain final acceptance of the project deliverables
4. Prepare and Share Final Report
5. Complete Lessons Learned
6. Obtain feedback from relevant stakeholders
7. Archive Project Documents
8. Celebrate
8. Release the resources
How correct is this list according to what Project Managemetn teaches us?
According to the PMBOK Fifth edition, here the order:
1. Confirm work is done to requirements
2. Complete procurement closure.
3. Gain final acceptance of the product
4. Complete financial closure
5. Hand off completed product
6. Solicit feedback form the customer about project
7. Complete final performance reporting
8. Index and archive records
9. Gather final lessons learned and update knowledge base

Interesting. I don't see that in Edition 6. What section did you find that in? I'm not challenging it whatsoever. I'm just wondering if there is more than in 4.7 Close Project or Phase, or they reorganized it.
