Correct answer & explanation
✓
Project Assurance
Project Assurance is the role responsible for providing independent assurance that the project remains on track, as defined by PRINCE2. It ensures that the project is being conducted correctly, adheres to the business case, and meets quality standards, without being involved in the day-to-day management. This role is separate from the Project Manager and Project Support to maintain objectivity.
