PRINCE2F PRINCE2 Practices Practice Test 28 — 15 Questions

Question 1

Which risk response is appropriate for a threat with high probability and high impact that cannot be reduced?

Accepted Answer

Fallback. When a threat has high probability and high impact and cannot be reduced, the appropriate risk response is Fallback (D). A fallback response is a predefined action plan that is executed if the primary risk response fails or if the risk materializes despite mitigation efforts. This is distinct from Accept, which involves tolerating the risk without a predefined plan, and Avoid, which involves eliminating the threat entirely, which is not possible here.

Answer

Accept

Answer

Avoid

Answer

Transfer

Question 2

In the Risk practice, who is responsible for implementing a risk response?

Accepted Answer

Risk actionee. In PRINCE2, the risk actionee is the person responsible for implementing the risk response actions as defined in the risk response plan. The risk owner owns the risk and oversees the response, but the actual implementation is delegated to the risk actionee. This separation ensures clear accountability for execution versus ownership.

Answer

Project Manager

Answer

Project Board

Answer

Risk owner

Question 3

What is the purpose of the Quality Register?

Accepted Answer

To record all quality activities and their results. The Quality Register records all planned and performed quality activities, providing a log for tracking quality events.

Answer

To list product descriptions

Answer

To record lessons learned

Answer

To define the quality management approach

Question 4

During the Managing a Stage Boundary process, the Project Manager produces an Exception Plan. What triggers the creation of an Exception Plan?

Accepted Answer

The Project Board approves an Exception Report. An Exception Plan is created when the Project Board approves an Exception Report, i.e., when a tolerance is forecast to be exceeded.

Answer

The project is closed prematurely

Answer

The end of a stage is reached

Answer

The Project Manager identifies a new risk

Question 5

During the Controlling a Stage process, a Team Manager reports that a work package is complete. What should the Project Manager do next?

Accepted Answer

Review the work package and, if acceptable, approve it. In PRINCE2, the Project Manager must first review the completed work package against its agreed criteria (e.g., quality tolerances, deliverables) before formally accepting it. This aligns with the 'Review Work Package' step in the Controlling a Stage process, ensuring that only verified outputs are approved. Option B is correct because the Project Manager cannot proceed to authorize further work or update plans until the current work package is formally accepted.

Answer

Immediately authorize the next work package

Answer

Update the Project Plan

Answer

Raise an Exception Report

Question 6

Which PRINCE2 document contains the cost and time tolerances for the project?

Accepted Answer

Project Plan. The Project Plan contains the project-level tolerances, including cost and time.

Answer

Business Case

Answer

Project Brief

Answer

Project Initiation Documentation

Question 7

What is the difference between a Highlight Report and a Checkpoint Report?

Accepted Answer

Highlight Report is from Project Manager to Project Board; Checkpoint Report is from Team Manager to Project Manager. In PRINCE2, the Highlight Report is a formal report from the Project Manager to the Project Board, summarizing progress, risks, and issues at a stage level. The Checkpoint Report is a detailed report from the Team Manager to the Project Manager, covering work package progress at a team level. This distinction ensures the right level of detail reaches the appropriate management layer.

Answer

Highlight Report is from Team Manager to Project Manager; Checkpoint Report is from Project Manager to Project Board

Answer

Both are from Project Manager to Project Board

Answer

Both are from Team Manager to Project Manager

Question 8

In the Progress practice, who receives the Highlight Report?

Accepted Answer

Project Board. The Highlight Report is a progress report that provides the Project Board with a summary of the project's status at a frequency defined in the Communication Management Approach. It is specifically designed to keep the Project Board informed of progress, achievements, and any issues or risks that require their attention. The Project Board is the sole recipient of the Highlight Report, as they are responsible for overall project governance and decision-making.

Question 9

Which TWO of the following are components of the Business Case?

Accepted Answer

Major risks. Expected benefits and major risks are standard components of a Business Case. Dis-benefits and timescales are also components, but the question asks for specific ones.

Answer

Configuration item records

Answer

Quality criteria

Answer

Product descriptions

Question 10

Which of the following is a threat response type in PRINCE2?

Accepted Answer

Avoid. PRINCE2 defines specific threat response types: avoid, reduce, fallback, transfer, accept, and share. 'Mitigate' is not a PRINCE2 term; 'reduce' is used instead.

Answer

Reject

Answer

Mitigate

Answer

Exploit

Question 11

Which TWO of the following are valid tolerances in PRINCE2?

Accepted Answer

Risk. In PRINCE2, tolerances are predefined limits for deviations in plan performance, and the six standard tolerances are Time, Cost, Quality, Scope, Risk, and Benefit. Option B (Risk) is correct because risk tolerance defines the acceptable level of risk exposure for a project, allowing the project manager to manage within that threshold without escalating. Option D (Quality) is correct because quality tolerance sets the acceptable deviation from specified quality criteria, ensuring deliverables meet agreed standards.

Answer

Customer satisfaction

Answer

Innovation

Answer

Resources

Question 14

In PRINCE2, which document is the key output of the Initiating a Project process?

Accepted Answer

Project Initiation Documentation. The Project Initiation Documentation (PID) is the definitive output of the Initiating a Project process in PRINCE2. It consolidates key information such as the Business Case, Project Plan, and Project Brief into a single, coherent document that defines the project's scope, objectives, and governance, serving as the baseline for decision-making and control throughout the project.

Answer

Question 15

A project is in the Initiating a Project process. Which document is created to define how issues and changes will be managed?

Accepted Answer

Change Management Approach. In PRINCE2, the Change Management Approach is created during the Initiating a Project process to define how issues, changes, and configuration items will be managed throughout the project. It specifies the procedures for capturing, assessing, and deciding on issues and change requests, including the roles and responsibilities involved. This document ensures a consistent and controlled approach to handling changes, which is critical for maintaining project stability.
