Same concept, more angles
3 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. Which THREE of the following are activities performed during the Directing a Project process?
hard- ✓ A.Authorize closure of the project
- B.Appoint the Project Manager
- ✓ C.Authorize initiation
- ✓ D.Give ad-hoc direction to the Project Manager
- E.Produce Highlight Reports
Why A: Directing a Project includes authorizing initiation, authorizing stages, giving ad-hoc direction, and authorizing closure. Producing Highlight Reports is for the PM during Controlling a Stage. Appointing the Project Manager is during Starting Up a Project.
Variation 2. Which TWO of the following are activities performed in the Directing a Project process?
medium- A.Produce Highlight Reports
- ✓ B.Authorize initiation
- ✓ C.Authorize the project
- D.Escalate issues to the Project Board
- E.Manage product delivery
Why B: The Directing a Project process includes authorizing initiation and authorizing the project. Producing Highlight Reports is an activity in the Controlling a Stage process, managing product delivery is part of Managing Product Delivery, and escalating issues is typically a project manager role, not a Directing a Project activity. Therefore, the correct answers are B and C.
Variation 3. Which TWO of the following are activities performed in the Directing a Project process?
medium- A.Produce the Project Initiation Documentation
- B.Take corrective action within stage tolerances
- C.Manage day-to-day work of a stage
- ✓ D.Authorize a stage or exception plan
- ✓ E.Authorize initiation
Why D: The Directing a Project process includes the activity of authorizing a stage or exception plan, which is a key decision-making step performed by the project board. Option E is correct because authorizing initiation is also an activity within Directing a Project, where the project board gives formal approval to proceed with the initiation stage. These activities ensure the project board maintains control over major decisions and boundaries.
