PRINCE2F PRINCE2 Practices Practice Question
Who is responsible for providing assurance that the project is being managed correctly?
⚠ Common exam trap
A common mix-up: candidates confuse Project Assurance with Project Support or the Project Manager's responsibilities, assuming the Project Manager is responsible for all aspects of project management including assurance, but PRINCE2 explicitly separates the assurance role to maintain objectivity.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
Project Assurance
Project Assurance is the independent check that the project is being managed correctly, as defined in PRINCE2. It is a role separate from the Project Manager and Team Manager, ensuring that the project remains viable and compliant with the organization's policies and standards. The Project Board delegates this responsibility to Project Assurance, which provides objective oversight throughout the project lifecycle.
