Correct answer & explanation
✓
Senior User
The Project Board consists of three roles: the Executive (Senior Responsible Owner), Senior User(s), and Senior Supplier(s). In this question, the two roles from the Project Board that are listed are Senior User (Option A) and Executive (Option E). Team Manager, Project Manager, and Project Support are not Project Board roles.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
Senior User
Why this is correct
The Senior User represents those who will use the project's products and confirms they meet requirements, making it one of the three Project Board roles alongside Executive and Senior Supplier. This satisfies the stem's requirement for roles constituting the Project Board.
- ✗
Team Manager
Why it's wrong here
The Team Manager manages delivery of products assigned by the Project Manager and reports to that role, not to the Project Board. It is tempting because Team Managers attend checkpoint and quality reviews, but PRINCE2 places them below the Project Manager in the delivery layer, holding no Board-level accountability.
- ✗
Project Manager
Why it's wrong here
The Project Manager runs the project day to day on the Board's behalf and reports to it, rather than sitting on it. It is tempting because the Project Manager attends every Board meeting and supplies progress information, but PRINCE2 defines the Board as Executive, Senior User and Senior Supplier only.
- ✗
Project Support
Why it's wrong here
Project Support is an administrative role that advises and assists the Project Manager, sitting outside the Project Board's three roles of Executive, Senior User and Senior Supplier. It is tempting because Project Support reports to the Board and attends meetings, but it holds no decision-making accountability or ownership of a business, user or supplier interest.
- ✓
Executive (SRO)
Why this is correct
The Executive, often filled by the Senior Responsible Owner, owns the business case and holds ultimate accountability for the project. This satisfies the stem's requirement for Project Board membership, sitting alongside the Senior User and Senior Supplier roles.
