Question
Alice is the project manager of the NHQ Project and is entering the project's closing processes. The project, she has managed, has been for another organization in a contractual relationship. Her organization requires Alice to complete performance reviews of the project team, review the deliverables with the project customer, and to obtain formal signoff of the project deliverables.

Why each option
When a project is performed under a contractual relationship, the project contract is the authoritative document that defines required closure activities, acceptance conditions, and formal sign-off obligations.
The Project Integration Plan coordinates project elements internally but does not define contractual closure obligations between separate organizations.
The project contract governs the formal obligations between Alice's organization and the customer organization, specifying all legally binding closure conditions such as deliverable reviews, formal sign-off requirements, and any other terms that must be satisfied. Because this is a contractual engagement, the contract supersedes internal plans as the reference for closure requirements.
Quality Control procedures guide verification of product quality but do not specify the contractual terms and conditions governing project closure.
The Communications Management Plan governs information distribution to stakeholders but does not define contractual closure requirements or formal acceptance criteria.
