Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
To define quality criteria for products
Why it's wrong here
Quality criteria are defined during the Plan Quality activity and recorded in the Quality Management Strategy or Product Descriptions, before any review occurs. The Quality Review Technique would be correct for subsequently testing a completed product against those already-defined criteria.
- ✗
To approve the Project Plan
Why it's wrong here
Approving the Project Plan is the Project Board's responsibility, exercised through the Directing a Project process, not a review technique. The Quality Review Technique would be correct for verifying that a product such as the Project Plan meets its defined quality criteria before approval.
- ✗
To assess the project's overall quality management approach
Why it's wrong here
The Quality Review Technique examines a specific product against its quality criteria in a structured meeting; it does not evaluate the project's overall quality management approach, which is the Quality Audit's remit. It would be correct for reviewing an individual product's fitness for purpose.
- ✓
To review a product's fitness for purpose against its quality criteria
Why this is correct
The Quality Review Technique assesses whether a product meets its defined quality criteria and is fit for purpose, satisfying the PRINCE2 quality theme requirement. It is a structured, planned review rather than an informal check.
