I would say that

Leassons Learnt are documented. As Archive project document do not contain leasson learn document. Correct me in case I am wrong.

this is very confusing question... As per PMBOK 4 on page# 64, "document lession learned" is happened before "Archive all related proj docs to PMIS". However as per Rita (page# 128) "index and archive records" happened before "update lession learned...". But we should follow PMBOK and so the correct answer will be A (Archive project documents).

This makes sense to me as well... like we archive everything even the lession learned docs as well at the end of project.

I know most of the people have this confusion.

The best closing steps are given in PMI publication.

Dont go any where, except this along with PMBOK -- this is atmost fact of this process group,

On basis of this link and knowledge answer would be - B

Regarding

1. Close Procurements,


2. Close Project or Phase and


3. Closing Group

these three are different thing, I saw these are also sometimes mingled up and create confusion.

In this contest - above pages how can be seen:

P64 -  Does not define any sequencial or orderal activities.

According to P64, at many places by mistake Close procurement is considered as last activities- Please read close Procurement - chapter 12 , it supports the Close project or Phase activity. Also Look at  Figure 3.49 P66,- read foot notes of this figure.

Close procurement is written as last point in Section 3.7 Closing Process group, because it  can not be fitted any where in above written sequence as a step.

P100, Defines Project administrative closure activities - step -by-step (it is written there)

In these activities-  Index and archive is later activity after LL.

As explained beautifully by Mr. SUVORAJ , the meaning of archive and why it is later then LL.

Now What about - Measure customer satisfaction at the end of project.

PMBOK E4 does not include this step . Also Release team is not any closing activity.

But in above publication it (Mreasure Customer Satisfaction) is added as last activity, so it is considered

unanimously  by PMP world.
