PRINCE2F People: organizations, teams, and leadership Practice Question
Which THREE factors should be considered when designing the project management team structure? (Choose three.)
⚠ Common exam trap
PeopleCert often tests the misconception that the project lifecycle stage influences the team structure design, but PRINCE2 treats the structure as a static design element defined at initiation, not dynamically adjusted per stage.

Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
The capabilities of the people available to the project
The capabilities of the people available directly influence the project management team structure. PRINCE2 emphasizes that the team structure must be designed around the skills, experience, and availability of individuals to ensure roles can be effectively filled and responsibilities discharged. Without assessing capabilities, the structure may assign roles that cannot be performed, leading to project failure.
