PRINCE2F PRINCE2 Practices Practice Question
A Project Manager is preparing the Quality Register for a stage in a PRINCE2 project. The stage involves both internal quality control checks and an external supplier's quality inspection. Which statement correctly describes the content and purpose of the Quality Register in this scenario?
⚠ Common exam trap
The trap here is assuming the Quality Register holds quality specifications or tolerances, when it actually logs the execution and results of quality activities.
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
✓
It records all planned and actual quality activities, including who is responsible and the results of each check.
The Quality Register is the operational record that captures every quality activity, the person responsible, and the outcome. In this scenario, it must include the internal quality control checks and the external supplier inspection, providing evidence that quality requirements are met. It does not replace the Quality Management Strategy or product descriptions.
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 lists the quality tolerances for the stage and the actions to be taken if a tolerance is forecast to be breached.
Why it's wrong here
Stage quality tolerances are defined in the Stage Plan, and the actions for forecast breaches are covered by the exception management procedure and the End Stage Report. The Quality Register is not the place for tolerances; it is a log of quality activities and outcomes. Misplacing tolerances here would obscure accountability for exception handling.
- ✓
It records all planned and actual quality activities, including who is responsible and the results of each check.
Why this is correct
The Quality Register is the PRINCE2 quality record that logs all quality activities planned and undertaken, along with their results, responsible parties, and any required follow-up actions. In this scenario, it captures both the internal quality control checks and the supplier's inspection, ensuring a complete audit trail for the stage.
- ✗
It contains the Quality Management Strategy and the quality responsibilities of the project board members.
Why it's wrong here
The Quality Management Strategy is a separate document that describes the overall quality approach, while project board quality responsibilities are defined in role descriptions and the project initiation documentation. The Quality Register does not contain strategy or role definitions; it is a tactical record of quality activities and results across the stage.
- ✗
It defines the quality specifications for each product, including the customer's quality expectations and acceptance criteria.
Why it's wrong here
Quality specifications, including customer expectations and acceptance criteria, are documented in the product descriptions and the Project Product Description, not the Quality Register. The Quality Register records the execution and results of quality activities. Confusing these two artefacts would lead to a gap in planning how quality will be achieved and verified.
