Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
1. Appoint the Executive and the Project Manager, 2. Capture previous lessons, 3. Design and appoint the project management team, 4. Prepare the outline Business Case, 5. Select the project approach and assemble the Project Brief
Why this is correct
This is the correct order because the PRINCE2 methodology dictates that leadership roles are established first, then lessons are reviewed, the team is built, the business case is outlined, and finally the approach is selected to define how the project will proceed.
- ✗
1. Appoint the Executive and the Project Manager, 2. Capture previous lessons, 4. Prepare the outline Business Case, 3. Design and appoint the project management team, 5. Select the project approach and assemble the Project Brief
Why it's wrong here
This order is incorrect because the Business Case should be prepared after the project management team is appointed; the team contributes to the business case. Placing it before team appointment can lead to an unrealistic outline.
- ✗
1. Appoint the Executive and the Project Manager, 3. Design and appoint the project management team, 2. Capture previous lessons, 4. Prepare the outline Business Case, 5. Select the project approach and assemble the Project Brief
Why it's wrong here
This order is incorrect because capturing previous lessons should occur before designing the team to ensure lessons are incorporated into team roles and responsibilities. Skipping lessons early may repeat past mistakes.
- ✗
1. Appoint the Executive and the Project Manager, 2. Capture previous lessons, 3. Design and appoint the project management team, 5. Select the project approach and assemble the Project Brief, 4. Prepare the outline Business Case
Why it's wrong here
This order is incorrect because the project approach should be selected based on the outline Business Case, not before it. The business case justifies the project and influences the choice of approach.
