PRINCE2F Overview of PRINCE2 and Principles Practice Question
Which TWO of the following are PRINCE2 principles?
⚠ Common exam trap
PeopleCert often tests the distinction between principles and themes, so the trap here is confusing a theme (like risk management or configuration management) with a principle, leading candidates to select options that are valid PRINCE2 components but not principles.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
Continued business justification
Continued business justification is a core PRINCE2 principle that requires the business case to remain viable throughout the project lifecycle. This principle ensures that the project is not started without a clear justification and that this justification is reviewed and updated at key decision points, such as stage boundaries. It directly supports the PRINCE2 focus on ongoing viability rather than a one-time approval.
