PRINCE2F PRINCE2 Practices Practice Question
Who is responsible for performing Project Assurance?
⚠ Common exam trap
A common mix-up: candidates confuse Project Assurance with Project Support or assume the Project Manager can handle it, but PRINCE2 explicitly separates the assurance role from management to maintain independence and objectivity.

Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
Project Board members (or their delegates)
Project Assurance is a PRINCE2 responsibility that provides an independent check on the project's progress, compliance, and viability. The Project Board members (or their delegates) are accountable for this function because they represent the business, user, and supplier interests, ensuring objective oversight separate from day-to-day management.
