Correct answer & explanation
✓
Project Manager
In PRINCE2, the defined project management team structure consists of the Project Board (C), the Project Manager (A), and the Team Manager (B). The Project Board (C) is the top-level decision-making body, comprising the Executive, Senior User, and Senior Supplier, and is accountable for the project's success. The Project Manager (A) is responsible for the day-to-day management of the project on behalf of the Project Board, while the Team Manager (B) is responsible for managing the team that produces the project's products and reports to the Project Manager. Options D and E are not part of the team structure: the Customer is a role that may be represented by the Senior User on the Project Board, and the Business Case is a PRINCE2 management product (a justification document), not a team role.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
Project Manager
Why this is correct
The Project Manager is a core role in PRINCE2's defined project management team structure, responsible for the day-to-day management of the project within the constraints set by the Project Board. This satisfies the stem's requirement for a component of that structure, alongside the Project Board and Team Manager roles.
- ✓
Team Manager
Why this is correct
Team Manager is a defined PRINCE2 role, responsible for ensuring that the work assigned to the team is delivered to the required quality, within the tolerances and constraints set by the Project Manager. This satisfies the stem's requirement for a component of the project management team structure.
- ✓
Project Board
Why this is correct
The Project Board is a mandated component of PRINCE2's defined project management team structure, sitting above the Project Manager and representing business, user and supplier interests. It satisfies the stem's requirement by providing the accountable decision-making layer that authorises the project, confirming this option as one of the three correct components.
- ✗
Customer
Why it's wrong here
Customer is a role within PRINCE2's business layer, not a component of the project management team structure, which comprises the project board, project manager, team manager, project assurance, project support and change authority. It is tempting because the customer represents the business interest, and would be correct when identifying who specifies desired outcomes.
- ✗
Business Case
Why it's wrong here
The Business Case is a PRINCE2 management product, not a team structure component, which covers roles such as project board, project manager, team manager, assurance and support. It is tempting because it justifies the project, and would be correct when identifying documentation required for continued viability.
