Answer choices

Why each option matters

Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.

Correct answer & explanation

✓

To ensure that the Project Board has independent and objective advice.

Project Assurance provides independent oversight to ensure that the project is managed correctly. If the Project Manager also performed assurance, it would compromise objectivity and independence.

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 reduce the workload of the Project Manager.

    Why it's wrong here

    While this might be a side effect, the primary reason is independence.

  • ✓

    To ensure that the Project Board has independent and objective advice.

    Why this is correct

    Independence ensures that Project Assurance can objectively monitor the project.

  • ✗

    To align with the PRINCE2 principle of continued business justification.

    Why it's wrong here

    This principle relates to the Business Case, not role separation.
