PRINCE2F PRINCE2 Practices Practice Question
Which TWO of the following are types of issue in PRINCE2?
⚠ Common exam trap
It's easy for candidates to confuse 'issue' with 'risk' or 'lesson', but PRINCE2 strictly defines issues as events that have occurred, while risks are uncertain future events and lessons are retrospective learning points.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
Request for Change
In PRINCE2, an issue is a relevant event that has occurred and requires management attention. The three defined types of issue are Request for Change (C), Off-specification (E), and Problem/Concern. Option C is correct because a Request for Change is a formal proposal for a modification to a product's specification or baseline, which is a standard type of issue in the PRINCE2 issue management procedure.
