PRINCE2F PRINCE2 Practices Practice Question
Who chairs the Project Board?
⚠ Common exam trap
PeopleCert often tests the misconception that the Project Manager chairs the Project Board because they run meetings, but PRINCE2 explicitly assigns this role to the Executive to maintain separation of management and decision-making authority.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
The Executive
The Executive is the chair of the Project Board in PRINCE2 because they are ultimately accountable for the project's success and have the authority to make key decisions. The Project Board is a decision-making body, and the Executive, as the business representative, chairs it to ensure alignment with organizational objectives. The Project Manager is a board member but does not chair it, as they are responsible for day-to-day management.
