PRINCE2F PRINCE2 Practices Practice Question
What is the definition of quality in PRINCE2?
⚠ Common exam trap
A common mix-up: candidates confuse 'conformance to requirements' (a common ISO 9000 definition) with PRINCE2's 'fit for purpose,' but PRINCE2 explicitly prioritizes stakeholder satisfaction and business need over strict specification adherence.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
Fit for purpose
In PRINCE2, quality is defined as 'fit for purpose,' meaning the product must meet the stated business need and user expectations.
