Even though the project is in the closing stage, all deliverables must be properly handed over and all stakeholder communications completed. Since a department did not receive a critical notification, this is an unresolved issue that must be documented and addressed immediately before closure.

Selected Answer: C

the issue is too serious to just assign it to a team member, escalation is usually not recommended as an answer, but here, i'd go with it.

B According to the PMBOK, if the last department in a system migration project indicates they haven't received project closure notifications, the project manager should verify communication, resend notifications if needed, follow up directly with the department, document communication efforts, adjust the project timeline if necessary, and proceed with project closure once all stakeholders are properly informed and any outstanding issues are resolved.
