PMP 2026 Manage Project Closure

Section 2.10 is about closing responsibly, not just stopping work. PMP 2026 expects closure to leave acceptance, transition, contracts, finances, records, resources, and post-project ownership clear enough that the organization can operate confidently after the project team steps back.

The lesson pages in this section cover the evidence and handoffs that make closure credible. Strong exam answers do not declare success as soon as delivery work slows down. They confirm exit criteria, complete obligations, transfer ownership cleanly, and leave no important ambiguity behind.
