Help with Closing Question

Submitted by mlmPMP2013 on Mon, 04/29/2013 - 23:25

Hi All -- I need help with the following questions.  I don't understand why the answer is B, when the question is asking "would procedures be developed" are terminate contract procedures developed in Close Project or Phase.

Bill is the project manager of an external project for a customer. The project is expected to take about a year to complete. Six months into the project, the customer informs Bill that the project needs to be scrapped. During which of the following processes would procedures be developed to handle early termination of a project?

  1. Develop Project Charter

  2. Close Project or Phase

  3. Define Scope

  4. Close Procurements

Thanks!

 First the answer is B

Because every project must be closed even if it is terminated in the middle.

 

Second I can see that you have assumed there is a contract in this project from your below statement.

"are terminate contract procedures developed in Close Project or Phase."

However the question doesnt say that there is any contract involved in this project. If there is a contract involved then the contact must be closed in the closed procuremnt process.

Therefore the right answer in this situation is B . Close Project or Phase.

 

Thanks
