PRINCE2F Practice Test 10 — 10 Questions

Question 1

During which process are the Benefits Management Approach and the Risk Management Approach first created?

Accepted Answer

Initiating a Project. The Benefits Management Approach and Risk Management Approach are both created during the Initiating a Project process, as part of the Project Initiation Documentation (PID). This process establishes the overall project strategies and baselines before the first stage begins, so the approaches that govern benefits realization and risk handling are defined here.

Answer

Directing a Project

Answer

Managing a Stage Boundary

Answer

Starting Up a Project

Question 2

During which process is the End Project Report produced?

Accepted Answer

Closing a Project. The End Project Report is produced during Closing a Project. It reviews the project's overall performance and confirms the project has met its objectives.

Answer

Directing a Project

Answer

Managing a Stage Boundary

Answer

Initiating a Project

Question 3

Which TWO of the following are components of the Project Initiation Documentation (PID)?

Accepted Answer

The Business Case. The Business Case (C) is a core component of the Project Initiation Documentation (PID) in PRINCE2, as it establishes the justification for the project by documenting the reasons, benefits, costs, risks, and timescales, and it must be approved before the project proceeds. The Project Plan (D) is also part of the PID, providing the high-level plan that describes how and when the project's objectives will be achieved, including the project's products, activities, and resources. The Risk Register (A) is not part of the PID; it is a separate document that is created and maintained throughout the project to record identified risks and their responses. The Lessons Log (B) is likewise a separate document used to capture lessons learned, not a PID component. The Team Manager (E) is a project role, not a document, and therefore cannot be a component of the PID.

Answer

The Risk Register

Answer

The Lessons Log

Answer

The Team Manager

Question 4

Which of the following is a risk response for an opportunity?

Accepted Answer

Enhance. In PRINCE2, risk responses for opportunities (positive risks) include Enhance, Exploit, and Share. Enhance is the correct response because it involves proactively increasing the probability and/or impact of an opportunity to maximize its potential benefits. Transfer and Avoid are responses for threats (negative risks), while Fallback is a response for a threat when the primary response fails.

Answer

Transfer

Answer

Avoid

Answer

Fallback

Question 5

In PRINCE2, what is the primary difference between Project Assurance and a quality review?

Accepted Answer

Project Assurance ensures the project is on track; a quality review checks product quality.. Project Assurance and quality reviews serve distinct purposes in PRINCE2. Project Assurance is an independent oversight function that ensures the project remains viable, compliant, and on track against the business case and plans. A quality review, on the other hand, is a structured technique used to assess whether a specific product meets its defined quality criteria and is fit for purpose.

Answer

There is no difference; they are synonymous.

Answer

Project Assurance is performed by the Project Manager; quality review is performed by the team.

Answer

Project Assurance is a process; quality review is a role.

Question 6

A project manager is creating the Project Initiation Documentation. Which document must be produced before the Initiation Stage can be considered complete?

Accepted Answer

Project Initiation Documentation. In PRINCE2, the Project Initiation Documentation (PID) is the key deliverable of the Initiation Stage. The stage is not considered complete until the PID has been created and approved, as it provides the foundation for project governance and decision-making. The Business Case, Project Plan, and Risk Register are all components that are assembled into the PID, but the PID itself is the definitive document that marks stage completion.

Answer

Business Case

Answer

Project Plan

Answer

Risk Register

Question 7

During the Managing Product Delivery process, a Team Manager identifies a defect in a product that is currently being developed. The defect means the product will not meet its agreed quality criteria. What should the Team Manager do?

Accepted Answer

Raise an Issue to the Project Manager. In PRINCE2, the Team Manager works within the Work Package tolerances agreed with the Project Manager. If a defect means the product will breach its agreed quality criteria, that's a deviation from the Work Package's quality tolerance, so the Team Manager must raise an Issue to the Project Manager rather than unilaterally fixing or ignoring it. The Project Manager then decides whether to authorize a change, adjust the plan, or escalate.

Answer

Stop work on the product and wait for instructions

Answer

Correct the defect immediately and report it in the next Checkpoint Report

Answer

Record the defect in the Quality Register only

Question 8

Which PRINCE2 principle is being applied when the Project Manager escalates a forecast tolerance deviation to the Project Board?

Accepted Answer

Manage by Exception. The 'Manage by Exception' principle is applied when the Project Manager escalates a forecast tolerance deviation to the Project Board. This principle delegates decision-making authority within defined tolerances; only when a deviation is forecast to exceed those tolerances does the Project Manager escalate to the Project Board for a decision. The escalation triggers exception management, ensuring the board retains control at key decision points without micromanaging day-to-day activities.

Answer

Defined Roles and Responsibilities

Answer

Learn from Experience

Answer

Continued Business Justification

Question 9

The Project Board has requested a report summarizing the current stage performance and the plan for the next stage. Which process should the Project Manager use?

Accepted Answer

Managing a Stage Boundary. The Managing a Stage Boundary process is specifically designed to provide the Project Board with information about the current stage's performance and to create a detailed plan for the next stage. This process produces the End Stage Report and the next Stage Plan, which are exactly what the Project Board requested. The Project Manager uses this process to request authorization to proceed to the next stage.

Answer

Controlling a Stage

Answer

Closing a Project

Answer

Directing a Project

Question 10

A project team is about to begin the first stage of a project. The project board has approved the project initiation documentation. Which process should be used to authorize the work?

Accepted Answer

Directing a Project. After the PID is approved, the project board authorizes the work for the first stage via the Directing a Project process, specifically the 'Authorize the project' activity. This process provides the necessary authorization for the project manager to start the first stage. Initiating a Project produces the PID, but authorization to proceed is given by the project board through Directing a Project.

Answer

Starting Up a Project

Answer

Managing Product Delivery

Answer

Initiating a Project
