✓
Manage day-to-day project activities within tolerances
The Project Manager is responsible for managing the day-to-day activities of the project within the tolerances set by the Project Board. This includes monitoring progress, resolving issues, and escalating deviations that exceed tolerances. PRINCE2 defines this as a core duty to ensure the project remains on track without requiring constant Board intervention.
