PRINCE2F PRINCE2 Practices Practice Question
Who should perform Project Assurance to ensure independence from the Project Manager?
⚠ Common exam trap
PRINCE2F often tests the distinction between Project Assurance and other roles, and candidates may incorrectly assume that Project Support or the Project Manager can perform assurance, but independence is key.

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 role that provides independent oversight of the project on behalf of the Project Board. To ensure independence from the Project Manager, it must be performed by Project Board members or their delegates, who are not part of the project management team and can objectively assess the project's performance and compliance.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
Project Board members (or their delegates)
Why this is correct
Project Assurance must be independent of the Project Manager, so the Project Board members perform it themselves or appoint delegates reporting directly to them. This preserves objectivity when monitoring business, user and supplier interests across the project.
- ✗
Team Manager
Why it's wrong here
Team Manager is responsible for delivery, not assurance.
- ✗
Project Support
Why it's wrong here
Project Support provides administrative help, not independent assurance.
- ✗
Project Manager
Why it's wrong here
Project Manager cannot assure their own work.
