PRINCE2F Practice Question: Overview of PRINCE2 and the project environment
What is NOT covered by PRINCE2?
⚠ Common exam trap
Test-takers frequently assume PRINCE2 covers all aspects of project management, including human resource management, because it defines roles and responsibilities, but the exam specifically tests that PRINCE2 does not include detailed HR processes such as staff recruitment, training, or performance management.

Human resource management
PRINCE2 is a process-based project management methodology that focuses on business justification, defined roles, and product-based planning. It explicitly covers risk management, business case management, and quality management as core themes, but it does not prescribe detailed human resource management practices; instead, it defines roles and responsibilities within the project management team.
