PRINCE2F PRINCE2 Practices Practice Question
What is the purpose of the Quality Register?
⚠ Common exam trap
Many candidates confuse the Quality Register with the Issue Register or Risk Register, because all three are logs used in PRINCE2, but each has a distinct purpose: the Quality Register is solely for tracking quality activities and their outcomes, not for recording problems or risks.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
To record all quality management activities and their results
The Quality Register is a PRINCE2 management product used to record all planned quality management activities (such as reviews, inspections, and tests) and their results, including whether each activity was successfully completed or failed. This provides a central log for tracking quality control and assurance throughout the project, ensuring that quality criteria are met and that any non-conformances are documented.
