PRINCE2F People: organizations, teams, and leadership Practice Question
Which TWO roles are optional in the PRINCE2 project management team?
⚠ Common exam trap

Correct answer & explanation
✓
Project Support
In PRINCE2, the Project Support role is optional because it provides administrative and advisory services to the project management team, but the project can operate without a dedicated person in this role if the Project Manager or other team members absorb those tasks. Similarly, the Change Authority is optional because it is only needed when the project delegates authority for change decisions; if the Project Board retains full change control, no separate Change Authority is required.
