PRINCE2F PRINCE2 Processes Practice Question

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
✓
Assess the impact on stage tolerances and take corrective action if within tolerance
If a Checkpoint Report indicates a deviation within stage tolerances, the PM can take corrective action themselves. If it threatens stage tolerance, they must escalate.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
Assess the impact on stage tolerances and take corrective action if within tolerance
Why this is correct
Correct. The PM assesses the deviation and acts accordingly; if within tolerance, they handle it; if not, they escalate.
- ✗
Revise the Stage Plan and inform the Project Board
Why it's wrong here
The PM can only revise the Stage Plan if within tolerances; otherwise escalation is needed.
- ✗
Request a new Work Package from the Team Manager
Why it's wrong here
Not relevant; the issue is about delivery delay, not a new work package.
- ✗
Raise an Exception Report immediately
Why it's wrong here
Only if the deviation is forecast to exceed stage tolerances; otherwise corrective action suffices.
