Variation 1. Who is responsible for ensuring that project assurance is independent of the Project Manager?
hard- A.The Team Manager
- B.The Project Manager
- C.The Project Support
- ✓ D.The Project Board
Why D: The Project Board is responsible for ensuring that project assurance is independent of the Project Manager. This is because the Project Board provides overall governance and oversight, and project assurance is a key function that must be objective and separate from the day-to-day management activities of the Project Manager. The PRINCE2 principle of 'defined roles and responsibilities' explicitly assigns this accountability to the Project Board to maintain the integrity of the assurance function.
