PRINCE2F PRINCE2 Practices Practice Question
Which TWO statements are true about the quality review technique in PRINCE2?
Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
It involves a chair, presenter, and reviewers
Option B is correct because the PRINCE2 quality review technique defines specific roles — a chair who organizes and leads the review, a presenter who introduces the product, and reviewers who examine it — as part of its structured review meeting format. Option D is correct because the stated objective of a quality review is to assess a product against its defined quality criteria, confirming whether it meets the requirements set out in the product description and quality management approach. Options A, C, and E are incorrect: quality review is not the same as quality assurance (which is a broader, independent activity), it is not mandatory for every product (the project manager decides which products warrant a formal review), and it does not replace quality planning, which remains a distinct and necessary activity within the quality theme.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
It is the same as quality assurance
Why it's wrong here
Quality review is a project-level technique for inspecting a specific product against its quality criteria; quality assurance is the wider corporate function providing standards and independent checks. It is tempting because both address quality, but assurance sits outside the project, whereas review is applied to individual products during delivery.
- ✓
It involves a chair, presenter, and reviewers
Why this is correct
A quality review brings together defined roles: chair, presenter, reviewers and a scribe, following a structured sequence of preparation, review meeting and follow-up. Naming chair, presenter and reviewers satisfies the stem's requirement for a true statement about the technique.
- ✗
It is used for all products in a project
Why it's wrong here
Quality reviews apply only to products requiring formal assessment, not every product; PRINCE2 allows other quality controls such as testing or inspection. It is tempting because quality reviews are the default PRINCE2 quality technique, and would be correct where a product needs a structured, role-based review by defined participants.
- ✓
The objective is to assess the product against its quality criteria
Why this is correct
Quality review inspects a product against its agreed quality criteria, documented in the Product Description, to confirm conformance before approval. This directly satisfies the stem's requirement that the review assesses the product against its quality criteria, rather than merely checking the project's processes or budget.
- ✗
It replaces the need for quality planning
Why it's wrong here
Quality review is one technique applied within the quality management approach; it cannot substitute for defining quality criteria, tolerances and responsibilities during planning. It is tempting because reviews do verify products, but planning must precede them, and reviews only test against criteria that planning has already established.
