PRINCE2F PRINCE2 Practices Practice Question
Which role is responsible for providing independent assurance that the project is being managed correctly?
⚠ Common exam trap
Test-takers frequently confuse Project Assurance with Project Support, thinking both are 'supporting' roles, but PRINCE2 explicitly separates administrative support (Project Support) from independent oversight (Project Assurance).

Correct answer & explanation
✓
Project Assurance
Project Assurance is the correct answer because, in PRINCE2, this role is specifically tasked with providing an independent view of how the project is progressing, ensuring that it remains compliant with the PRINCE2 method and that management controls are being applied correctly. It is independent from the Project Manager and reports directly to the Project Board, focusing on objective oversight rather than day-to-day execution.
