PRINCE2F PRINCE2 Practices Practice Question

Correct answer & explanation
✓
Project Assurance
In PRINCE2's Organising practice, Project Assurance is the role responsible for independently monitoring and providing assurance that the project is being conducted correctly, including adherence to PRINCE2 principles and the project's defined approach. It reports to the Project Board, not the Project Manager, ensuring 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.
- ✗
Team Manager
Why it's wrong here
The Team Manager manages production of products within a work package and reports progress via Checkpoint Reports; assurance of correct project conduct is not their remit. Project Assurance performs that independent monitoring role across business, user and supplier interests.
- ✓
Project Assurance
Why this is correct
Project Assurance provides independent monitoring of the project's performance and products on behalf of the Project Board, checking that the project is conducted correctly. This satisfies the stem's assurance requirement, distinct from the Project Manager's day-to-day delivery responsibility.
- ✗
Project Support
Why it's wrong here
Project Support provides administrative services such as maintaining the project's information and configuration management; it holds no assurance accountability. Assurance that the project is conducted correctly sits with Project Assurance, which monitors the three stakeholder interests independently of the Project Manager.
- ✗
Project Manager
Why it's wrong here
The Project Manager runs the project day to day and cannot independently assure their own conduct; assurance requires separation from management. Project Assurance provides that independent oversight of the business, user and supplier interests, reporting concerns to the Project Board.
