Marginalia

• The PMBOK® only announces that the input of the process Close Project are the deliverables. On the other hand the output 'accepted deliverables' (generated by Scope Verification) and 'validated deliverables' (generated by Perform Quality Control) don't become input of any process. But - of course - PMI want's that a project is closed with approved deliverables.
