ExpertPMP · Question 68 · Task 17: Plan and manage project/phase closure or transitions
A project is nearing completion with deliverables accepted by the customer. However, there are still outstanding vendor payments, some team members need performance evaluations completed, lessons learned need to be captured, and project artifacts need to be archived. The sponsor wants to officially close the project quickly to free up resources for other initiatives. What should the project manager do FIRST?
