It defines the quality techniques and standards to be applied and the responsibilities for achieving quality.
The Quality Management Strategy is a key PRINCE2 document that defines the quality techniques, standards, and responsibilities for the project.

Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
It specifies the detailed quality criteria for each product to be produced by the project.
Why it's wrong here
Product quality criteria are defined in the Product Description for each product, not in the Quality Management Strategy. The strategy provides the overarching approach, including techniques and standards, but the specific criteria for individual products are documented separately. This ensures detailed requirements are captured at the product level.
- ✗
It records the quality activities and results for each product as they are completed.
Why it's wrong here
This describes the Quality Register, not the Quality Management Strategy. The Quality Register is used to record quality activities and results, such as quality checks and their outcomes. While both relate to quality, the strategy sets the overall approach, whereas the register tracks specific activities and results throughout the project.
- ✗
It outlines the project's approach to managing and controlling changes to product specifications.
Why it's wrong here
This describes the Change Control Approach, which is a separate strategy within PRINCE2. The Change Control Approach defines how changes to products will be managed and controlled. The Quality Management Strategy focuses on quality, not change control, though both are part of the overall project management approach.
- ✓
It defines the quality techniques and standards to be applied and the responsibilities for achieving quality.
Why this is correct
The Quality Management Strategy is a PRINCE2 document that describes the quality techniques, standards, and responsibilities for achieving quality within the project. It ensures that quality is planned and managed systematically, providing a common framework for all quality activities. This aligns with the PRINCE2 principle of focusing on products and defining quality criteria.
