As a project is reaching completion, the project sponsor tells the project manager to immediately close the project and to move on to another project. Which critical task should the project manager complete before closing the project?

Explanation

A defining output of the Close Project or Phase process is archiving all project records and documents according to organizational policy so they become part of the historical and lessons-learned repository available to future projects. When a sponsor directs an abrupt close-out, ensuring this archival happens is the critical task that preserves the project's institutional knowledge before everyone moves on.
