What does the term 'adjourning' refer to in a project context?

  1. When project goals have been accomplished

  2. When a project is canceled

  3. When team members start a new project

  4. During the planning phase of a project

The correct answer is: When project goals have been accomplished

The term 'adjourning' in a project context refers to the final stage in group development, specifically when project goals have been accomplished. In this phase, the team reflects on their achievements, discusses what they learned, and formally closes the project. It is a critical time for recognition and celebration of success, as well as providing closure for team members who may be moving on to other projects. Understanding this phase is essential for effective project management, as it helps acknowledge the hard work of the team and solidifies the lessons learned to improve future project performance. The other options do not capture the essence of 'adjourning' in this context—cancellation of a project or transitioning to a new one does not embody the concept of completion and evaluation that adjourning signifies.
