PRINCE2F PRINCE2 Practices Practice Question

Answer analysis

Option-by-option breakdown

For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.

• ✗

  The Project Manager

  Why it's wrong here

  The Project Manager manages day-to-day delivery and cannot independently assure their own work; assurance is delegated by the Project Board to business, user and supplier assurance roles. The Project Manager is tempting because they monitor progress and controls, but that is management, not the independent verification of the project's viability that assurance requires.

• ✗

  The Senior Supplier

  Why it's wrong here

  The Senior Supplier represents supplier interests on the Project Board and provides supplier resources; project assurance is delegated by the Project Board to assurance roles independent of the project manager. The Senior Supplier would be the right answer for supplying products, not for assuring the project.

• ✗

  The Project Support

  Why it's wrong here

  Project Support provides administrative help and tool expertise, not assurance. Assurance requires independent monitoring of the project's viability, delegated by the Project Board to business, user or supplier assurance roles. Project Support is tempting because it sits close to the Project Manager and handles documentation, but it lacks the mandated independence from the project team that assurance demands.

• ✓

  The Project Board

  Why this is correct

  Project assurance in PRINCE2 sits with the Project Board, which is accountable for confirming the project remains viable and aligned with business justification. Board members independently monitor each project management level, ensuring the three stakeholder interests are represented throughout.
