Project Assurance
Why this is correct
Project Assurance is a defined PRINCE2 role, separate from the Project Manager and the Project Board, specifically tasked with providing independent assurance that the project remains aligned with its business justification and is conducted properly according to PRINCE2 principles and tolerances. This satisfies the stem’s requirement for a role explicitly responsible for monitoring compliance and governance, not for managing or directing the project.
