⚠ Common exam trap
It's easy for candidates to confuse the 'Quality' practice with the 'Plans' practice, mistakenly thinking that planning for quality is simply part of the project plan, rather than recognizing that PRINCE2 treats quality as a distinct practice with its own management strategy and control mechanisms.
