PRINCE2F PRINCE2 Practices Practice Question
A project manager is defining the project's approach to managing changes to baselined products. Which practice provides the framework for handling such changes?
⚠ Common exam trap
Candidates often confuse the Change practice with the Progress practice, mistakenly thinking that monitoring progress includes managing changes, but PRINCE2 explicitly separates change control from progress control.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
Change practice
The Change practice in PRINCE2 provides the framework for managing changes to baselined products, including issue and change control procedures, configuration management, and the use of change authority levels. It defines how proposed changes are captured, assessed, and either approved or rejected, ensuring that baselined products are modified in a controlled manner.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Risk practice
Why it's wrong here
The Risk practice manages uncertainty through identification, assessment and response, not modifications to baselined products. It is tempting because changes often introduce risk, but the Change practice provides the framework for handling change requests against baselined products, which is the stem's requirement.
- ✗
Organization practice
Why it's wrong here
The Organization practice defines roles, responsibilities and project team structure, not change control of baselined products. It is tempting because it governs who does what, but the Change practice supplies the framework for raising, assessing and approving changes to baselined products, which is what the stem asks for.
- ✓
Change practice
Why this is correct
The change practice defines how baselined products are controlled, covering the identification, assessment, approval and implementation of changes. It directly provides the framework the project manager needs for handling modifications to baselined products throughout the project.
- ✗
Progress practice
Why it's wrong here
The Progress practice monitors and reports performance against plans, tracking variance and forecasts, not controlling modifications to baselined products. It is tempting because change affects progress reporting, but the Change practice owns the issue-and-change control framework that handles baselined product modifications.
