Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
Project Assurance
Project Assurance is an independent role that provides assurance to the Project Board on all three interests (business, user, supplier). Option A is incorrect because Project Support provides administrative support, not independent assurance. Option B is incorrect because the Project Manager is responsible for day-to-day management, not independent assurance. Option C is incorrect because the Team Manager is responsible for delivering work packages, not providing assurance across interests.
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 Support
Why it's wrong here
Project Support provides administrative services, not independent assurance.
- ✗
Project Manager
Why it's wrong here
The Project Manager is tasked with day-to-day management of the project, not with independent assurance. The PRINCE2 principle of defined roles and responsibilities separates management from assurance; the Project Manager cannot provide objective assurance over their own work. This option tempts because the Project Manager oversees all three interests (business, user, supplier) operationally, but the role lacks the independence required to verify that management itself is correct. The correct choice is the Project Assurance role, which is explicitly assigned to provide this independent check.
- ✗
Team Manager
Why it's wrong here
The Team Manager focuses on the technical delivery of work packages within a stage, not on providing independent assurance across business, user, and supplier interests. This role is tempting because it oversees the team’s daily work, but assurance is a distinct function assigned to the Project Assurance role, which checks compliance with the project’s management controls from each stakeholder perspective.

Project Assurance
Why this is correct
Project Assurance provides independent oversight of the project's management.
