Program Life Cycle Management

Question

You are the program manager of the NHQ Program for your organization. Your program has 14 constituent projects that are all creating benefits and deliverables for your program. You have recently terminated the GHW Project in your program because you've made trade-offs with other program projects and the deliverables of the GHW Project are no longer affordable. What project management activity should happen in the GHW Project?

Why each option

When a constituent project within a program is terminated early, scope verification must occur to formally document and accept the deliverables completed before closure.

AQuality audit

A quality audit evaluates whether quality processes are being followed correctly and is not the primary closure activity required when a project is terminated.

BScope verificationCorrect

Scope verification is the process of formally inspecting and accepting completed deliverables; even when a project is terminated prematurely, this process must be performed to document which deliverables were completed, partially completed, or not started, providing a formal record for program governance, audits, and lessons learned.

CScope control

Scope control manages changes to the approved scope baseline and is not the appropriate activity once a termination decision has already been made.

DFinancial audit

A financial audit reviews financial records and controls, not the deliverables acceptance process that must occur at project termination.
