PRINCE2F People: organizations, teams, and leadership Practice Question
In PRINCE2, how often does the Project Board typically meet?
⚠ Common exam trap
Watch out — candidates often confuse the Project Board's meeting frequency with that of a daily stand-up or weekly team meeting, failing to recognize PRINCE2's core principle of management by exception, which dictates that the Board only convenes when triggered by specific events or stage boundaries.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
Exception-driven
In PRINCE2, the Project Board is not a day-to-day management body; it meets only when decisions are needed outside the delegated authority of the Project Manager. The correct frequency is exception-driven, meaning the Board convenes when a stage boundary is reached, an exception report is raised, or the project is ready for closure. This aligns with PRINCE2's principle of management by exception, where the Board's involvement is triggered by specific events rather than a fixed schedule.
