PRINCE2F People: organizations, teams, and leadership Practice Question
Who chairs the Project Board?
⚠ Common exam trap
Test-takers frequently assume the Project Manager chairs the Project Board due to their visible leadership role, but PRINCE2 explicitly assigns the chair to the Executive to maintain separation of management and governance.

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
✓
Executive
The Executive chairs the Project Board in PRINCE2. This is because the Executive is the ultimate decision-maker, accountable for the project's business justification and overall success. The Project Board is chaired by the Executive, not the Project Manager, Senior Supplier, or Senior User, as the Executive represents the business interests and has the authority to approve key decisions.
