PRINCE2F People: organizations, teams, and leadership Practice Question
In PRINCE2, what is the purpose of Project Support?
⚠ Common exam trap
It's easy for candidates to confuse Project Support with Project Assurance, mistakenly thinking support includes oversight or approval functions, when in fact PRINCE2 strictly separates administrative support from independent assurance and management authority.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
To provide administrative support to the project.
Project Support in PRINCE2 is a role that provides administrative and clerical services to the project management team, such as maintaining files, organizing meetings, and managing project documentation. It does not have decision-making authority over stage plans, assurance, or budget management, which are the responsibilities of other roles like the Project Manager, Project Assurance, and the Executive.
