PRINCE2F PRINCE2 Practices Practice Question
Which document describes the quality criteria for a specific product?
⚠ Common exam trap
PRINCE2F often tests the distinction between product-level and project-level quality documents — candidates confuse the Product Description (per-product criteria) with the Project Product Description (overall acceptance criteria) or the Quality Management Strategy (approach).
Answer choices
Why each option matters

Correct answer & explanation
✓
Product Description
A Product Description is the document that defines a product's purpose, composition, derivation, quality criteria, and quality method. It is the reference for quality control activities on that specific product, so it is where the quality criteria for a product are documented.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Project Product Description
Why it's wrong here
The Project Product Description covers the project's final product, not each individual product's criteria. It is tempting because it does contain quality criteria, and would be correct when defining acceptance criteria for the overall project output rather than a component product.
- ✓
Product Description
Why this is correct
The Product Description records the quality criteria a specific product must meet, alongside its purpose, composition and derivation. It satisfies the stem's requirement for a document scoped to one product, unlike the Quality Management Strategy, which defines quality approach across the whole project rather than criteria for an individual deliverable.
- ✗
Quality Management Strategy
Why it's wrong here
The Quality Management Strategy defines the project's overall quality approach, tolerances and roles, not criteria for one product. It is tempting because it governs quality planning across the project, and would be correct when setting organisation-wide quality standards rather than specifying a single product's measurable criteria.
- ✗
Quality Register
Why it's wrong here
The Quality Register logs quality activities, results and approvals; it records outcomes rather than defining criteria. It is tempting because it tracks quality events per product, and would be correct when recording the results of quality checks already performed against a product's agreed criteria.
