PRINCE2F People: organizations, teams, and leadership Practice Question
The Project Board is considering a Request for Change. Which role is authorized to approve changes within delegated limits?
⚠ Common exam trap
A common mix-up: candidates assume the Project Manager has approval authority for changes, but PRINCE2 explicitly separates the management of change control from the authority to approve changes, which is delegated to the Change Authority.
