PRINCE2F PRINCE2 Practices Practice Test 41 — 15 Questions

Question 1

An issue is raised that a product delivered by a supplier does not include a feature that was agreed in the product description. The Project Manager determines that the product is still usable without the feature. What type of issue is this?

Accepted Answer

Off-specification. An Off-specification is something that should be provided but is not (or is provided but does not meet specifications). A Request for Change is a proposed change. A Problem/Concern is a general issue. Here, the feature is missing, so it's an Off-specification.

Answer

Request for Change

Answer

Problem/Concern

Answer

Risk

Question 2

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

Accepted Answer

Checkpoint Report

Answer

Risk Register

Question 3

Which document is used to capture and track all identified risks throughout the project?

Accepted Answer

Risk Register. The Risk Register is the document used to record and track risks.

Question 4

Who is responsible for maintaining the Business Case throughout the project?

Accepted Answer

The Project Manager. In PRINCE2, the Executive (Senior Responsible Owner) owns the Business Case, but the Project Manager is responsible for maintaining it on a day-to-day basis. The Project Board reviews and approves it at key decision points.

Answer

The Executive (Senior Responsible Owner)

Answer

The Senior Supplier

Answer

The Project Support office

Question 5

What is the difference between a Request for Change and an Off-specification?

Accepted Answer

A Request for Change proposes a change to a baseline, while an Off-specification is a product that does not meet its specification. A Request for Change is a proposal to change a baseline, while an Off-specification is a deviation from an agreed baseline that already exists.

Answer

A Request for Change is always accepted, while an Off-specification is always rejected

Answer

A Request for Change is submitted by the Project Board, while an Off-specification is submitted by the Project Manager

Answer

A Request for Change must be approved by the Project Board, while an Off-specification can be approved by the Project Manager

Question 6

A project is forecast to exceed its stage cost tolerance. What should the Project Manager do?

Accepted Answer

Raise an Exception Report to the Project Board and await directions. According to PRINCE2's management by exception principle, if a stage tolerance is forecast to be exceeded, the Project Manager must escalate to the Project Board via an Exception Report. The PM cannot exceed tolerance without authorization.

Answer

Increase the stage budget by using the project's change budget

Answer

Continue with the current plan and report the overrun in the next Highlight Report

Answer

Close the project as the Business Case is no longer viable

Question 7

During a stage, the Project Manager receives a Checkpoint Report from a Team Manager indicating that the team has implemented a workaround for an off-specification without prior approval. What should the Project Manager do?

Accepted Answer

Raise an Issue Report and assess the impact of the workaround. Any off-specification must be formally documented as an issue. The team should not have implemented a workaround without approval. The Project Manager should raise an Issue Report and investigate the impact.

Answer

Accept the workaround as it has already been implemented

Answer

Update the Configuration Item Record to reflect the change

Answer

Instruct the Team Manager to reverse the workaround immediately

Question 8

Which type of report is produced by the Project Manager to provide the Project Board with a summary of progress at the end of each stage?

Accepted Answer

End Stage Report. The End Stage Report is produced at the end of each stage to summarize progress for the Project Board.

Answer

Highlight Report

Answer

Checkpoint Report

Answer

Exception Report

Question 9

What is the difference between a Request for Change and an Off-specification?

Accepted Answer

A Request for Change seeks to modify a baselined product; an Off-specification identifies a failure to meet a specification. A Request for Change is a proposal for a modification to a product that has been baselined, while an Off-specification is something that should be provided but is not (or is forecast not to be). The key difference is that RFC is about changing what was agreed, whereas Off-spec is about failing to deliver what was agreed.

Answer

A Request for Change is raised by the Project Manager; an Off-specification is raised by the Senior User

Answer

There is no difference; they are alternative terms for the same thing

Answer

A Request for Change always requires a change budget; an Off-specification does not
