PRINCE2 Practices

This domain covers how PRINCE2 organizes work into controllable stages and manages change: Business Case, Organization, Plans, Progress, Change, and Quality practices. Questions test definitions, role responsibilities, and document purposes, often by contrasting similar artifacts (Request for Change vs Off-specification) or asking which role decides what within tolerance.

What this domain covers

What to know about PRINCE2 Practices

Be able to state the purpose of each progress report and change artifact, and identify which role holds which decision authority. The single most important thing: know that change approval authority can be delegated to a Change Authority within defined tolerances, not assumed by the Project Manager.

Purpose of Checkpoint, Highlight, and End Stage Reports within Progress practice

Difference between a Request for Change and an Off-specification in Change practice

Delegation of change authority within agreed tolerances to a Change Authority

Purpose of the Business Case and its ownership by the Executive across stages

Watch out for

Common PRINCE2 Practices exam traps

  • ▸Confusing a Request for Change (proposed change) with an Off-specification (something not yet delivered to agreed specification).
  • ▸Assuming the Project Manager approves all changes; authority may be delegated to a Change Authority within set limits.
  • ▸Treating the Business Case as a one-off document rather than something reviewed and updated at each stage boundary.
