PRINCE2F PRINCE2 Practices Practice Question
Which TWO of the following are types of issue in PRINCE2?
⚠ Common exam trap
A common mix-up: candidates confuse management products (like Exception Plan or Lessons Report) or risk concepts with the specific PRINCE2 issue types, leading candidates to select options that are not defined as issue categories.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
Off-specification
In PRINCE2, an issue is a relevant event that has occurred and requires management attention. The two types of issue are 'Off-specification' (something that should be provided but is not) and 'Request for Change' (a proposal for a change to a baseline). Options B and E are correct because they directly match these defined types.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Exception Plan
Why it's wrong here
An Exception Plan is a plan, not an issue type.
- ✓
Off-specification
Why this is correct
A product that does not meet its specification.
- ✗
Risk
Why it's wrong here
Risk is not an issue type; it is a separate practice.
- ✗
Lessons Report
Why it's wrong here
A Lessons Report captures learning for future projects, not a request for change, off-specification, or problem/concern requiring a decision — which are the three defined types of issue in PRINCE2. It is tempting because it is a formal PRINCE2 management product, but it would only be correct if the question asked for a project management product, not a type of issue.
- ✓
Request for Change
Why this is correct
A formal request for a change to a baseline.
