The vendors have provided the needed documentation, and the project sponsor is happy with the project result, though costs were slightly over budget. What else should Thomas do to close out Project Anchor?
  • A Clear out the backlog.
  • B Ensure all project contracts are closed out.
  • C Finalize quality control.
  • D Determine project velocity.
Reveal correct answer

Correct answer: B

Explanation

Thomas should review all project contracts to ensure they have been properly closed out and have met their terms. Closing all contracts must be completed before the project is officially closed, which can be coordinated with centralized contracting. However, Thomas may have to approve the invoices for payment as part of the organizational framework. Quality control happens before the customers see the result, so it is assumed that this task has been completed already. Given that all tasks have been closed out, there should not be a backlog. Predictive projects do not have a velocity.
