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
✓
Project Assurance provides independent oversight, while Project Support provides administrative services
Project Assurance provides independent oversight and is accountable to the Project Board, while Project Support provides administrative services to the Project Manager and team. Option B is incorrect because Project Assurance is independent, not part of the Project Manager's team. Option C is incorrect because Project Assurance does not manage quality control; it provides oversight, and the Risk Register is managed by the Project Manager with support from Project Support. Option D is incorrect because both roles are required in all projects, though the level of effort may vary.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown

- ✓
Project Assurance provides independent oversight, while Project Support provides administrative services
Why this is correct
This correctly distinguishes the two roles.
- ✗
Project Assurance is part of the Project Manager's team, while Project Support is independent
Why it's wrong here
Project Assurance is independent of the Project Manager; Project Support works for the Project Manager.
- ✗
Project Assurance manages quality control, while Project Support manages the Risk Register
Why it's wrong here
Project Assurance may be involved in quality but not exclusively; Project Support may assist with the Risk Register but does not 'manage' it.

Project Assurance is only required for large projects, while Project Support is always required
Why it's wrong here
Both roles are optional but recommended; size does not determine exclusivity.
