PRINCE2F PRINCE2 Practices Practice Question
Who is responsible for providing assurance that the project is being conducted properly?
⚠ Common exam trap
PRINCE2 often tests the distinction between the Project Manager's role (managing the project) and the Project Board's role (providing assurance and making key decisions), leading candidates to mistakenly select the Project Manager as the assurance provider.

Project Board
In PRINCE2, the Project Board is responsible for providing assurance that the project is being conducted properly. This includes ensuring that the project remains viable, that risks are managed, and that the business case is still valid. The Project Board delegates day-to-day management to the Project Manager but retains overall accountability and oversight through assurance activities.
