Question 591 of 1,731
Quick Answer
The answer is the Assess step. This is the correct choice because the PRINCE2 risk management procedure explicitly defines the Assess step as the phase where each identified risk is evaluated for its probability and impact, allowing the project team to calculate the risk’s overall severity and prioritize it for action. On the PRINCE2 Foundation exam, this question tests your recall of the five procedural steps—Identify, Assess, Plan, Implement, and Communicate—and often appears as a direct multiple-choice item where distractors like “Identify” or “Plan” are common traps. To avoid confusion, remember that Identify is about finding risks, while Assess is where you measure them. A useful memory tip is to think of the word “score”: the Assess step is where you score each risk by combining its probability and impact, turning a list of risks into a prioritized action plan.

Common exam traps
Common exam trap: answer the scenario, not the keyword
Many certification questions include familiar terms but test a specific constraint. Read the exact wording before choosing an answer that is generally true but wrong for this case.
Detailed technical explanation
How to think about this question
This question should be treated as a scenario, not a definition check. Identify the problem, the constraint and the best action. Then compare each option against those facts.
KKey Concepts to Remember
- Read the scenario before looking for a memorised answer.
- Find the constraint that changes the correct option.
- Eliminate answers that are true in general but not in this case.
- Use explanations to understand the rule behind the answer.
TExam Day Tips
- Underline the problem statement mentally.
- Watch for words such as best, first, most likely and least administrative effort.
- Review why wrong options are wrong, not only why the correct option is correct.
Key takeaway
Answer the scenario, not the keyword: identify the specific constraint before choosing the most familiar-sounding option.
Real-world example
How this comes up in practice
A practitioner preparing for the PRINCE2F exam encounters this exact type of scenario on the job. The correct answer here is not the most general option — it is the best answer for the specific constraint described. Answer the scenario, not the keyword: identify the specific constraint before choosing the most familiar-sounding option. Real exam questions reward reading the full scenario before eliminating options, because the constraint defines which answer fits.
