PRINCE2F PRINCE2 Practices Practice Question
What is the definition of quality in PRINCE2?
⚠ Common exam trap
A common mix-up: candidates confuse 'conformance to specification' (a common ISO 9000 definition) with PRINCE2's 'fit for purpose,' leading them to select Option A, but PRINCE2 explicitly defines quality as meeting user expectations, not just technical specs.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
Fit for purpose
In PRINCE2, quality is defined as 'fit for purpose,' meaning the product must meet the stated user needs and expectations within the project's scope. This aligns with the PRINCE2 principle of continued business justification, ensuring the product delivers value. Option D is correct because PRINCE2 focuses on whether the product satisfies its intended use, not just on technical specifications.
