Correct answer & explanation
✓
Fit for purpose
In PRINCE2, quality is defined as 'fit for purpose,' meaning the product must meet the stated requirements and satisfy the user's needs. This definition aligns with the PRINCE2 principle of continued business justification, ensuring the product delivers value. It is broader than mere conformance to specifications, as it includes the user's perspective and context.
