PRINCE2F PRINCE2 Practices Practice Question
In product-based planning, what does the Product Flow Diagram show?
⚠ Common exam trap

Correct answer & explanation
✓
The sequence and dependencies of products
The Product Flow Diagram in PRINCE2 product-based planning shows the sequence in which products are developed and the dependencies between them. It is a key technique for identifying the order of creation and the relationships among products, which is essential for planning the project's activities and stages.
