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 the generic term 'problem' with the formal PRINCE2 issue type 'Problem/Concern', or they mistakenly think 'Threat' is an issue type because it is a common project management term, but PRINCE2 strictly separates issues from risks.

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 Problem/Concern, Request for Change (RFC), and Off-specification. Option C is correct because a Request for Change is a formal proposal for a modification to a product's specification, cost, or schedule, and is one of the three core issue types.
