PRINCE2F People: organizations, teams, and leadership Practice Question
Which TWO of the following are true about Project Assurance?
⚠ Common exam trap
It's easy for candidates to confuse Project Assurance with Project Support or Quality Management, or assume the Project Manager can double-hat as the assurance role, but PRINCE2 explicitly requires independence to avoid bias and ensure objective oversight.
Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
It ensures the project is being conducted correctly
Project Assurance is a PRINCE2 role that verifies the project is being conducted correctly, meaning it checks that the project remains viable, adheres to its business case, and follows the defined management stages. It is not about doing the work but about ensuring compliance with the project's plans, controls, and standards. This aligns with PRINCE2's principle of continued business justification and the need for independent oversight.
