Candidates often confuse the Project Manager's role in preparing the Project Plan with the Executive's accountability for the business case or the Team Manager's responsibility for lower-level Team Plans, leading candidates to select the wrong role based on perceived authority rather than defined PRINCE2 responsibilities.
