Answer

To document the acceptance of all products delivered in the stage

Question 2

During the Initiating a Project process, which document is the key output that defines how the project will be managed?

Accepted Answer

Project Initiation Documentation. The Project Initiation Documentation (PID) is the key output of the Initiating a Project process. It consolidates all the information needed to manage the project, including the project plan, business case, risk register, and quality management approach. It serves as the baseline against which progress and changes are assessed.

Answer

End Stage Report

Answer

Project Brief

Answer

Business Case

Question 3

Refer to the exhibit. The project board is reviewing the End Stage Report for Stage 2 and the Stage Plan for Stage 3. The Stage Plan for Stage 3 exceeds the agreed cost tolerance. According to PRINCE2, what should the project board do?

Accepted Answer

Ask the project manager to produce an Exception Plan for Stage 3. According to PRINCE2, when a Stage Plan exceeds the agreed cost tolerance, the project board cannot approve it. Instead, the project manager must produce an Exception Plan that describes the options to bring the stage back within tolerance or to request a revised tolerance. This is a formal exception management process defined in the PRINCE2 manual.

Answer

Approve the Stage Plan as it is, since Stage 2 was completed within tolerance

Answer

Reject the Stage Plan and ask the project manager to terminate the project

Answer

Lower the cost tolerance for Stage 3 to match the plan

Question 4

Question 5

During the Initiating a Project process, the project manager is reviewing the Business Case. Which statement best describes the purpose of this review?

Accepted Answer

To develop a detailed justification for the project and confirm it remains viable.. During the Initiating a Project process, the Business Case is reviewed to develop a detailed justification for the project and confirm it remains viable. This involves refining the outline Business Case from the Starting Up a Project process into a fully detailed document that justifies the project's continued existence based on costs, benefits, risks, and timescales. The review ensures the project is still aligned with corporate objectives and that the investment is worthwhile before proceeding to the next stage.

Answer

Question 8

During the Controlling a Stage process, the Project Manager receives a Checkpoint Report showing that a Work Package is behind schedule. What should the Project Manager do first?

Accepted Answer

Assess the impact on the stage plan and take corrective action if within tolerance. In PRINCE2, during the Controlling a Stage process, the Project Manager is responsible for monitoring work packages and taking corrective action if issues arise within the stage tolerances. When a Checkpoint Report indicates a Work Package is behind schedule, the first step is to assess the impact on the stage plan and determine if the deviation is within the stage tolerances. If it is, the Project Manager can take corrective action without escalating. Only if the issue exceeds stage tolerances should an Exception Report be raised.

Answer

Raise an Exception Report immediately

Answer

Inform the Project Board in the next Highlight Report

Answer

Request a new Work Package from the Team Manager

Question 9

Which process does the Project Board use to give ad-hoc direction to the project?

Accepted Answer

Question 15

What is the difference between a risk owner and a risk actionee?

Accepted Answer

The risk owner is accountable for the risk; the risk actionee performs the response actions. In PRINCE2, the risk owner is the person accountable for the management and outcome of a specific risk, including ensuring that appropriate response actions are planned and executed. The risk actionee, by contrast, is the person assigned to carry out the specific response actions defined in the risk response plan. This distinction ensures clear accountability versus execution responsibility within the risk management process.

Answer

The risk owner reports to the Project Board; the risk actionee reports to the risk owner

Answer

The risk owner identifies the risk; the risk actionee assesses it

Answer

The risk owner is responsible for threats; the risk actionee for opportunities
