PRINCE2F PRINCE2 Practices Practice Question
This PRINCE2F practice question tests your understanding of prince2 practices. Read the scenario carefully and evaluate each option against the stated constraints before committing to an answer. After answering, compare your reasoning against the explanation and wrong-answer breakdown below. Once you have made your selection, read the full explanation to reinforce the concept and understand why each distractor is designed to mislead on exam day.
A project has identified an opportunity to reduce costs by using a new technology. The Project Manager decides to allocate additional resources to increase the likelihood of this opportunity occurring. Which risk response type is being applied?

Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
Enhance
The project is taking proactive action to increase the probability of a positive opportunity (cost reduction via new technology). In PRINCE2, the 'Enhance' response is specifically used to increase the likelihood and/or impact of an opportunity. By allocating additional resources to boost the chance of the technology succeeding, the Project Manager is applying the Enhance response, not Exploit (which would assume the opportunity is already certain and seeks to maximize its benefits).
Key principle: Answer the scenario, not the keyword: identify the specific constraint before choosing the most familiar-sounding option.

Common exam traps
Common exam trap: answer the scenario, not the keyword
The trap here is that candidates often confuse 'Enhance' with 'Exploit' because both involve taking action on an opportunity, but Exploit assumes the opportunity is already likely to happen and focuses on maximizing benefit, whereas Enhance is about increasing the probability of an uncertain opportunity.
Detailed technical explanation
How to think about this question
In PRINCE2, the risk response types for opportunities (positive risks) are: Exploit, Enhance, Share, and Reject. The key distinction is that Enhance is used when the opportunity is uncertain and you want to increase its probability or impact, while Exploit is reserved for opportunities that are already highly likely and you want to ensure the full benefit is realized. In this scenario, the technology is new and its success is not guaranteed, so allocating resources to increase its likelihood is a textbook Enhance response. A real-world example would be a software company investing in extra testing and training to increase the chance that a new feature will reduce support costs.
KKey Concepts to Remember
- Read the scenario before looking for a memorised answer.
- Find the constraint that changes the correct option.
- Eliminate answers that are true in general but not in this case.
TExam Day Tips
- Watch for words such as best, first, most likely and least administrative effort.
- Review why wrong options are wrong, not only why the correct option is correct.
Key takeaway
Answer the scenario, not the keyword: identify the specific constraint before choosing the most familiar-sounding option.
Real-world example
How this comes up in practice
A practitioner preparing for the PRINCE2F exam encounters this exact type of scenario on the job. The correct answer here is not the most general option — it is the best answer for the specific constraint described. Answer the scenario, not the keyword: identify the specific constraint before choosing the most familiar-sounding option. Real exam questions reward reading the full scenario before eliminating options, because the constraint defines which answer fits.
