PRINCE2-PRACTITIONER Practices Practice Question

A Team Manager realizes that a delivered product component does not meet the quality criteria specified in its Product Description, but the deviation is minor and could potentially be accepted as-is. Under PRINCE2, how should this be logged?

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

Off-specification

A product that fails to meet its specification is logged as an 'off-specification' in the Issue Register.

Answer analysis

Option-by-option breakdown

For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.

  • Off-specification

    Why this is correct

    An off-specification is something that should be provided by the project but currently is not (or is flawed).

  • Risk Register entry

    Why it's wrong here

    Since the failure has already occurred, it is an issue, not a risk.

  • Exception Report

    Why it's wrong here

    An Exception Report is raised only when stage tolerances are forecast to be breached.

  • Request for Change

    Why it's wrong here

    A request for change is for modifying the baseline, whereas an off-specification is when a product fails its current specification.
