A product is undergoing its last iterative increment, and the project team is ready to make the final deployment. The company’s financial manager is asking the project team to complete the deployment and close the project as soon as possible so it can be capitalized.
What should the project manager do?
When a project is ready for its final deployment, the project manager must ensure that all deliverables and quality standards meet the established criteria. This is outlined in the definition of done (DoD), which specifies the requirements that must be fulfilled before the project can be considered complete. Checking the DoD helps confirm that all tasks are finalized and the project is truly ready for closure, which is crucial for maintaining the integrity and quality of the project.
In this situation, the project manager should check on the definition of done (DoD) for the project (option D). The definition of done outlines the criteria that must be met for the project to be considered complete, ensuring that all necessary deliverables and quality standards are met before the project is closed.
