PRINCE2F PRINCE2 Practices Practice Question
A project is in the Initiating a Project process. Which document is created to define how issues and changes will be managed?
⚠ Common exam trap
It's easy for candidates to confuse the Issue Register (a log of actual issues) with the Change Management Approach (the plan for how issues and changes are managed), leading them to select Option A instead of the correct document that defines the process.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
Change Management Approach
In PRINCE2, the Change Management Approach is created during the Initiating a Project process to define how issues, changes, and configuration items will be managed throughout the project. It specifies the procedures for capturing, assessing, and deciding on issues and change requests, including the roles and responsibilities involved. This document ensures a consistent and controlled approach to handling changes, which is critical for maintaining project stability.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Issue Register
Why it's wrong here
The Issue Register is a log recording and tracking live issues and changes, not the document defining how they will be managed. It is tempting because it deals with the same subject matter, but the Change Control Approach specifies the procedures, responsibilities and tolerances for issue and change handling.
- ✗
Business Case
Why it's wrong here
The Business Case justifies the project's continued viability by comparing costs, benefits, risks and timescales; it contains no issue or change management procedures. It is tempting because it is created during Initiating a Project, but the Change Control Approach defines how issues and changes are managed.
- ✓
Change Management Approach
Why this is correct
The Change Management Approach is produced during Initiating a Project as part of the Project Initiation Documentation, defining the procedures, roles and tolerances for controlling issues and changes throughout the project, satisfying the stem's requirement for how issues and changes are managed.
- ✗
Project Plan
Why it's wrong here
The Project Plan covers scope, products, schedule and tolerances; it does not define issue and change management. Its inclusion in the PID makes it tempting, yet the approach to handling issues and changes belongs in the Change Control Approach, produced alongside it during Initiating a Project.
