PRINCE2F People: organizations, teams, and leadership Practice Question
Who chairs the Project Board?
⚠ Common exam trap
Candidates often confuse the Project Manager's leadership role in day-to-day activities with the governance role of chairing the Project Board, or they assume the Senior User or Senior Supplier chairs because they have strong stakeholder interests, but PRINCE2 explicitly assigns the chair to the Executive.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
Senior Responsible Owner (Executive)
The Project Board is chaired by the Executive, also known as the Senior Responsible Owner (SRO). This role has overall accountability for the project's success, ensuring it delivers the required business justification and remains aligned with organizational strategy. The Executive chairs the board to provide leadership and make key decisions, not the Senior User, Senior Supplier, or Project Manager.
