PRINCE2F Practice Question: Overview of PRINCE2 and the project environment
Which TWO processes involve the Project Board making key decisions?
⚠ Common exam trap
A common pitfall in PRINCE2 exams is assuming the Project Board is involved in all processes; however, key decisions are only made in Directing a Project and Managing a Stage Boundary. Other processes are delegated to the Project Manager or Team Manager.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
Directing a Project
The Directing a Project process is the only process that is exclusively for the Project Board, providing overall direction and control. It includes key decision points such as authorizing project initiation, ad hoc direction, and authorizing project closure. The Managing a Stage Boundary process also involves the Project Board because it requires the board to approve the End Stage Report and the next Stage Plan, thereby making a key decision to proceed.
