Same concept, more angles
4 more ways this is tested on PRINCE2F
These questions test the same concept from different angles. Work through them to make sure you can recognise it however the exam phrases it.
Variation 1. The Project Manager has produced an End Stage Report for the current stage. According to PRINCE2, what is the next step?
medium- A.Update the Business Case and close the project
- B.Distribute the report to stakeholders and continue to the next stage
- C.Seek approval from the Executive to continue
- ✓ D.Submit the report to the Project Board for a decision on whether to proceed
Why D: In PRINCE2, the End Stage Report is produced by the Project Manager to provide the Project Board with a summary of the stage's performance. The next step is to submit this report to the Project Board, which then decides whether to authorize the next stage, amend the project, or stop the project. Option D correctly reflects this governance checkpoint, as the Project Board holds the authority to approve continued investment.

medium- A.Authorise a Work Package
