PRINCE2F People: organizations, teams, and leadership Practice Question
The Project Board is meeting to make decisions when the project is not meeting its tolerances. What type of meeting is this?
⚠ Common exam trap
Test-takers frequently confuse an Exception-driven meeting with a Stage Boundary meeting, because both involve reviewing a plan, but the trigger (tolerance breach vs. end of stage) and the output (Exception Plan vs. Stage Plan) are fundamentally different.
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
✓
Exception-driven meeting
D is correct because when a project is forecast to exceed its tolerances, the Project Board must convene an Exception-driven meeting to assess the situation and decide on corrective action. This meeting is triggered by an Exception Report from the Project Manager, not by a scheduled management stage boundary or routine progress review.
