PRINCE2-PRACTITIONER Practices Practice Question
A project is developing a new software system. The Project Manager discovers that one of the operational benefits listed in the Business Case will actually occur 12 months *after* the project has officially closed. How should this be handled under PRINCE2 7?
Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
Ensure post-project benefit reviews are scheduled and handed over to operational management in the Benefits Management Approach.
Post-project benefit realization activities must be assigned ownership and tracked through the corporate benefits review mechanisms, as accountability often extends beyond project closure.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Extend the project lifecycle by 12 months to allow the Project Manager to track the benefit.
Why it's wrong here
Extending the project just for benefit realization is inefficient; projects deliver outputs, while operations realize benefits.
- ✗
Delete the benefit from the Benefits Management Approach because project closure terminates all benefit tracking.
Why it's wrong here
Many benefits are realized post-project and must be tracked by corporate management.
- ✗
Transfer accountability for the Business Case to the Senior Supplier once the software is deployed.
Why it's wrong here
The Senior Supplier represents the creators/suppliers; operational benefits are the domain of the Senior User.
- ✓
Ensure post-project benefit reviews are scheduled and handed over to operational management in the Benefits Management Approach.
Why this is correct
Post-project benefit reviews are defined in the Benefits Management Approach and managed operationally.
