PRINCE2F People: organizations, teams, and leadership Practice Question
When should the Project Board meet?
⚠ Common exam trap
A common misconception is that the Project Board meets regularly (e.g., weekly or daily) like a Scrum daily stand-up, but PRINCE2 specifically limits board meetings to stage boundaries and exception events to preserve management by exception.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
At stage boundaries and when an exception occurs
The Project Board is responsible for key decision points in the PRINCE2 methodology. It meets at stage boundaries to review progress, approve the next stage plan, and ensure continued business justification. It also meets when an exception occurs (i.e., when a stage plan deviates beyond tolerance) to decide on corrective action, such as approving an exception plan or prematurely closing the project.
