PRINCE2-PRACTITIONER Processes Practice Question
A project is undergoing the Closing a Project process. The Project Board requests confirmation that all project benefits have been fully realized before giving final approval to close. According to PRINCE2, why is this request problematic at this exact moment?
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
✓
Benefits realization reviews occur post-project and cannot be completed during the Closing a Project process.
Many project benefits materialize long after the project products are handed over and the project is closed; therefore, benefit realization cannot be fully proven at 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.
- ✗
Benefits are managed exclusively by Team Managers during Managing Product Delivery.
Why it's wrong here
Team Managers deliver products; they do not own business benefits.
- ✗
The Project Board has no authority to review benefits.
Why it's wrong here
The Project Board owns the Business Case, but benefits realization extends beyond project closure.
- ✓
Benefits realization reviews occur post-project and cannot be completed during the Closing a Project process.
Why this is correct
Benefits realization often happens months or years after project closure; the project closure process only sets up the Benefit Review Plan for future assessment.
- ✗
The Project Manager is prohibited from measuring benefits.
Why it's wrong here
The Project Manager helps define the Benefit Review Plan, but realization is owned by corporate/business management post-project.
