Exam PK0-005 topic 1 question 80 discussion

Closing Phase Complete Testing: Verify that deliverables meet requirements. Validate Deliverables: Check that scope has been met and obtain sign-off. Close Risk Register: Address residual risks. Release Resources: Free up team members and equipment. Conduct Lessons Learned: Document what worked and areas for improvement. Handover Deliverables: Transition completed product to operations. Archive Documents: Store project documents for future reference. Formal Project Closeout: Officially close the project and confirm success.

D starts after A is completed

The project manager should validate against the scope statement and ask for sign-off after a system was implemented and testing was successfully completed. The scope statement is a document that defines and documents the project scope, objectives, deliverables, requirements, assumptions, and constraints. The scope statement can help to establish a common understanding and agreement between the project manager and the stakeholders on what the project aims to achieve and deliver. Validating against the scope statement means checking whether the project deliverables meet the agreed-upon scope criteria and quality standards. Asking for sign-off means requesting formal acceptance and approval of the project deliverables from the stakeholders.

Once a system has been implemented and testing successfully completed, the next logical step for the project manager would be "A. Validate against the scope statement and ask for sign-off."

The reason is that after testing is completed, the project manager should verify that the project deliverables meet the requirements and expectations of the stakeholders, as defined in the scope statement. The project manager should also obtain formal acceptance and approval from the stakeholders, which is known as sign-off.

After the system has been implemented and testing has been successfully completed, the next step is to train the operations team on how to use the system. This will ensure that the system is used effectively and efficiently. The project manager should also hand off the system to the operations team so that they can take ownership of the system and support its ongoing use. The other options are not as important at this stage. The scope statement has already been validated, and the quality of the deliverables has already been ensured through testing. The risk register can be reviewed and residual risks can be closed up later, after the system has been in use for a while.
