Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Exempt the project from the Plans practice.
Why it's wrong here
The Plans practice is mandatory in PRINCE2; it must be tailored, not omitted.
- ✗
Replace Product Descriptions with sprint backlogs across the entire project.
Why it's wrong here
Product Descriptions define deliverables; backlogs manage tasks, so they serve different purposes and can be integrated, not replaced.
- ✗
Discard the Stage Plan entirely and rely solely on agile Kanban boards.
Why it's wrong here
PRINCE2 requires formal stage plans for governance, even when agile delivery is used.
- ✓
Create high-level stage plans for governance control while utilizing detailed timeboxed/increment plans for the delivery teams.
Why this is correct
Tailoring PRINCE2 for agile involves using management stages for governance while team delivery uses timeboxes or iterations.
