5/5 · The PRINCE2 processes · hard
Which statement about premature closure within the Closing a project process is correct?
AIt can only be triggered by the project manager without Project Board authorization
BIt is only applicable when the project has exceeded its time tolerance
CIt follows essentially the same activities as a planned closure, but can be triggered by Project Board direction at any point before the project's planned end
DIt replaces the need for an end project report
Show answer & explanation
C is correct. Premature closure applies the same Closing a project activities as a normal closure but is triggered earlier, on Project Board direction, for reasons such as the business case no longer being viable; an end project report is still required to capture lessons and outcomes.
