Start People: organizations, teams, and leadership PracticeA project team is distributed across three time zones, causing communication delays. The project manager wants to apply the 'manage by stages' principle effectively. What should the project manager do first?
Explanation: The 'manage by stages' principle requires that the project manager plans only one stage at a time in sufficient detail, while the next stage is planned just before it begins. In a distributed team with time zone delays, the first step is to plan the next management stage with clear communication milestones that explicitly account for time zone differences, ensuring that stage boundaries and decision points are synchronized despite the delays.
A project manager notices that team members are frequently bypassing the project's defined escalation paths and going directly to senior stakeholders with issues. This is causing confusion and undermining the project's governance. Which PRINCE2 principle is being violated?
Explanation: 'Manage by stages,' because the PRINCE2 principle of managing by stages requires that each stage be planned, monitored, and controlled with defined escalation paths for issues. When team members bypass these paths and go directly to senior stakeholders, they undermine the stage-by-stage control and governance, violating the principle that decisions and escalations should follow the established stage boundaries and management levels.
In a PRINCE2 project, the project board is concerned that the project manager is not effectively communicating with key stakeholders. The project manager recently presented a detailed risk report to the board, but several board members were unaware of the critical risks identified. Which communication management activity should the project manager have performed to ensure the board was properly informed?
Explanation: The PRINCE2 communication management strategy defines how, when, and to whom information should be communicated. The project manager should have agreed on this strategy with the board upfront, ensuring that critical risks are reported in a format and frequency that meets the board's needs. Without this agreement, the board was not properly informed despite the detailed risk report being presented.
Match each PRINCE2 role to its responsibility.
Explanation: The Executive owns the business case, the Senior User represents users, the Senior Supplier provides resources, and the Project Manager runs day-to-day operations. Common confusions include swapping the Executive's accountability with the Project Manager's authority, or mixing the Senior User's focus on requirements with the Senior Supplier's resource provision.
Which role is responsible for maintaining the Business Case throughout the project?
Explanation: In PRINCE2, the Executive is the single individual accountable for the project's business justification and is specifically responsible for maintaining the Business Case throughout the project. This includes ensuring the Business Case is updated at each stage boundary and remains viable. The Executive owns the Business Case and is supported by the Senior User and Senior Supplier in providing information, but the ultimate responsibility lies with the Executive.
