Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
Defined roles and responsibilities
Why this is correct
Ensuring the project management team has a balanced representation of business, user, and supplier interests embodies defined roles and responsibilities.
- ✗
Tailor to suit the project
Why it's wrong here
Setting up the Project Board structure follows PRINCE2 governance guidelines rather than tailoring.
- ✗
Manage by exception
Why it's wrong here
Board delegation and authority thresholds relate to manage by exception, not the tri-partite representation structure.
- ✗
Continued business justification
Why it's wrong here
The Executive owns the business justification, but the presence of all three primary stakeholder interests covers defined roles and responsibilities.
