PRINCE2F PRINCE2 Practices Practice Question
A Project Manager is preparing the Change Control Approach for a project. Which TWO of the following are components that should be included in the Change Control Approach? (Choose two.)
⚠ Common exam trap
The trap here is mixing components from different PRINCE2 strategies, such as including quality criteria or risk tolerances in the Change Control Approach.

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
✓
The format and use of the Issue Register.
The Change Control Approach includes the scale of changes that require Project Board approval and the format and use of the Issue Register. These components define how changes are governed and recorded. Quality criteria, quality assurance roles, and risk tolerances belong to other strategies or documents, such as Product Descriptions, the Quality Management Strategy, and the Risk Management Approach.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
The risk tolerances for the project.
Why it's wrong here
Risk tolerances are defined in the Risk Management Approach or the Project Initiation Documentation, not in the Change Control Approach. Risk tolerances set the limits for risk exposure, while the Change Control Approach deals with changes to baselines. They are separate components of the project management approach.
- ✗
The roles and responsibilities for quality assurance.
Why it's wrong here
Roles and responsibilities for quality assurance are defined in the Quality Management Strategy, not the Change Control Approach. While the Change Control Approach may reference roles involved in change control, quality assurance responsibilities are part of the quality theme. It is important not to confuse the two strategies.
- ✓
The format and use of the Issue Register.
Why this is correct
The Change Control Approach specifies the format and use of the Issue Register, including how issues are recorded, analyzed, and managed. It ensures that all issues, including change requests, are handled consistently. This is a component because it defines the tools and procedures for issue and change control within the project.
- ✓
The scale of change that requires Project Board approval.
Why this is correct
The Change Control Approach defines the thresholds and scale of changes that require escalation to the Project Board. This includes the levels of authority for approving changes, ensuring that significant changes are appropriately reviewed. It is a key component because it sets out how change control will be governed and who can make decisions.
- ✗
The detailed quality criteria for each product.
Why it's wrong here
Detailed quality criteria for each product are documented in the Product Descriptions, not in the Change Control Approach. The Change Control Approach focuses on how changes will be managed, not on the specific quality requirements of products. Quality criteria are part of the quality theme and are defined separately for each product.
