Question 2 of 355

Answer

Suggested Answer

The suggested answer is C.

As part of the project closure activities, the project handover report is a formal documentation that indicates the completion of the project or phase and the transfer of the completed project deliverables to the operations group or to the next phase.
Answer option D is incorrect. A project charter is a document that officially recognizes and acknowledges that a project exists. It helps define requirements and expectations to all involved in the project. It is issued by the project sponsor. It can be as simple as a one-page form for a very small project, briefly describing the project and listing the responsibilities and authority of the project manager. Charters can be much longer, however, depending on the size of the project. In addition to formally authorizing a project, the charter provides the project manager with the authority to apply organizational resources to project activities. Project charters are important to the success of a project.
It's a good idea to have a project manager assigned to the project prior to the start of planning, and preferably while the project charter is being developed. Here's an example of a project charter.
