PRINCE2F People: organizations, teams, and leadership Practice Question
A project is being set up using PRINCE2. The Executive has asked the Project Manager to identify the person who will be responsible for the technical integrity of the project's products and who will provide technical expertise to the project. Which role in the PRINCE2 project management team should the Project Manager recommend?
⚠ Common exam trap
The trap here is assuming that technical expertise must come from Project Assurance, when in PRINCE2 the Senior Supplier is the role that owns technical integrity and supplier expertise.
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
✓
Senior Supplier
The Senior Supplier is the Project Board role accountable for the technical integrity of the project's products and for providing the necessary technical expertise. The other roles focus on user interests, independent assurance, or team-level production, and therefore do not satisfy the requirement for supplier-side technical accountability.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Project Assurance
Why it's wrong here
Project Assurance is a role that provides independent oversight of the project on behalf of the Project Board, checking that the project remains viable and that products meet requirements. It does not supply technical expertise or take accountability for the technical integrity of the products themselves.
- ✓
Senior Supplier
Why this is correct
The Senior Supplier represents the supplier side and is accountable for the technical integrity of the project's products. This role provides the technical expertise and ensures that the supplier resources are available to deliver products that meet the required quality criteria.
- ✗
Team Manager
Why it's wrong here
The Team Manager is responsible for managing the team that produces the products and for reporting progress to the Project Manager. The role focuses on day-to-day production and resource management, not on providing the overarching technical integrity and technical expertise required at the project board level.
- ✗
Senior User
Why it's wrong here
The Senior User represents the interests of those who will use the project's products and is accountable for benefits realization. While the Senior User may provide user expertise, the role does not carry responsibility for the technical integrity of products or for supplying technical specialist knowledge to the project team.
