PRINCE2F PRINCE2 Practices Practice Question
Which TWO of the following are types of issue in PRINCE2?
⚠ Common exam trap
Many candidates confuse 'Risk' with 'Issue' because both are management products, but PRINCE2 strictly separates them: risks are uncertain future events, while issues are events that have already occurred.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
Off-specification
In PRINCE2, an issue is a relevant event that has occurred and requires management attention. The two recognized types of issue are 'Off-specification' (something that should be provided by the project but is not, or is provided incorrectly) and 'Request for Change' (a proposal for a change to a product's baseline). Options D and E are correct because they directly match these defined types.
