PRINCE2F PRINCE2 Practices Practice Question
Which TWO are types of issue in PRINCE2?
⚠ Common exam trap
Watch out — candidates often confuse the PRINCE2 definitions of 'issue' and 'risk', often selecting 'Risk' as an issue type because both involve potential problems, but PRINCE2 strictly separates them based on whether the event has already occurred (issue) or is uncertain (risk).

Correct answer & explanation
✓
Request for Change
In PRINCE2, an issue is a relevant event that has occurred and requires management attention. The two defined types of issue are Request for Change (a proposal for a change to the product's specification or baseline) and Off-specification (something that should be provided but is not, or is provided incorrectly). These are formally documented and managed through the issue and change control procedure.
