Same concept, more angles
3 more ways this is tested on PRINCE2F
These questions test the same concept from different angles. Work through them to make sure you can recognise it however the exam phrases it.
Variation 1. In which process is the Benefits Management Approach first created?
medium- A.Directing a Project
- B.Starting Up a Project
- C.Managing a Stage Boundary
- ✓ D.Initiating a Project
Why D: The Benefits Management Approach is created during the Initiating a Project process because this process establishes the detailed plans and controls needed to manage the project, including how benefits will be realized and measured. It is not created earlier because the project mandate and outline business case in Starting Up a Project are too preliminary to define measurable benefits criteria.
Variation 2. During which process is the Benefits Management Approach first produced?
medium- A.Managing a Stage Boundary
- B.Closing a Project
- ✓ C.Initiating a Project
- D.Starting Up a Project
Why C: The Benefits Management Approach is first produced during the Initiating a Project process, as it forms part of the Project Initiation Documentation (PID). Options A, B, and D are incorrect: Managing a Stage Boundary reviews and may update the approach, Closing a Project evaluates benefits, and Starting Up a Project does not create it.
Variation 3. During which process are the Benefits Management Approach and the Project Plan created?
medium- A.Managing a Stage Boundary
- B.Directing a Project
- ✓ C.Initiating a Project
- D.Starting Up a Project
Why C: In the Initiating a Project process, the PID is created, which includes the Benefits Management Approach, Project Plan, and other management approaches.
