Closing the project and contract closure

--此處輸入引言--


From crosswind manual test of chapter 6
25.
You network upgrade project is almost complete. You have outsourced the remote upgrades to three different companies for completion. As the project closes down, what comes first?

(A) Contract Closure
(B) Assignment of contracts for the next phase
(C) Release of resources
(D) Closing the project

The answer is (D). (Why not (A))

According to Crosswind opinion, closing the project happens before contract closure. But I don't find this relationship between these two process. Does it correct? How to explain?

yeah, strange indeed.

If the project closes first, then who will handle the product (upgrades) acceptance, payment,...etc.

I also choose(A), other opinion?

At page 80 of PMBOK....
Close project process triger Contract Closure process


and

At page 273 of PMBOK....
Contract Closure process may go back to Close Project process

and

and at last close this project at the process of Close project




So I choise (D) as the answer of this question

The correct answer is D.

"Conract colsure procedure" and "Administrative closure procedure" are the outpot of Close Project process
(PMBOK P.79)

and the "Conract colsure procedure" is also the input of the Contract Closure Porcess.(PMBOK P.272)
