A project is forecast to exceed its stage cost tolerance. What should the Project Manager do?
PM escalates via Exception Report for decision.
Why this answer
PRINCE2's management by exception requires escalation via an Exception Report when tolerances are forecast to be breached.
Which TWO of the following are purposes of the Managing Product Delivery process?
Core purpose of MP.
Why this answer
MP aims to accept and execute Work Packages and deliver completed products. Planning the next stage is done in SB. Managing stage boundaries is SB.

Which of the following is a purpose of the Quality Review technique?
This is the correct purpose.
Why this answer
The Quality Review technique aims to assess whether a product meets its quality criteria and to involve stakeholders. Option C is correct.
In PRINCE2, what is the key difference between Project Assurance and a quality review?
Project Assurance is a defined role in the project management team; quality review is a technique for product evaluation.
Why this answer
Project Assurance is a role within the PRINCE2 management structure, responsible for monitoring all aspects of the project's performance and products independently of the Project Manager. A quality review, on the other hand, is a specific technique used to assess the quality of a product against its defined quality criteria. Therefore, the key difference is that one is a role and the other is a technique.
Exam trap
The trap here is confusing a role (Project Assurance) with a technique (quality review), as both involve checking quality, but PRINCE2 explicitly separates them into different components of the management system.
How to eliminate wrong answers
Option A is wrong because Project Assurance ensures that the project is being conducted properly across all management themes (including business case viability), not just quality, while a quality review is a technique focused on product quality, not business case viability. Option B is wrong because Project Assurance and a quality review are fundamentally different concepts: one is a role (who does it) and the other is a technique (how it is done). Option C is wrong because Project Assurance is performed by individuals independent of the Project Manager (often from the Project Board or external), not by the Project Manager, and a quality review is performed by a review team that includes the producer, reviewers, and a chair, not solely by the team.
Who is responsible for ensuring that the Business Case remains viable throughout the project?
The Executive owns the Business Case and is responsible for its viability.
Why this answer
The Executive (Senior Responsible Owner) is accountable for the Business Case and ensuring its ongoing viability.
What is the purpose of the Managing a Stage Boundary process?
This is the correct purpose of Managing a Stage Boundary.
Why this answer
The purpose is to provide the Project Board with information to review the current stage, approve the next stage plan, and update the project plan and Business Case. Option C is correct.
