PRINCE2F People: organizations, teams, and leadership Practice Question
Which TWO of the following are responsibilities of the Project Board?
⚠ Common exam trap
A common mix-up: candidates confuse the Project Board's strategic oversight responsibilities (like authorizing stage plans and providing resources) with the Project Manager's tactical duties (like writing Work Packages or day-to-day management), leading candidates to select options A or C instead of the correct pair D and E.
