PRINCE2 Foundation — Question 129

Which is a purpose of the 'directing a project' process?

Answer options

• A. To answer the question: Do we have a viable and worthwhile project?
• B. To coordinate an area of work delivering the project product's components
• C. To delegate day to day management of the project to the project manager
• D. To provide a fixed point to confirm acceptance of the project product

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because the 'directing a project' process involves entrusting the project manager with the daily operations and management of the project. Options A, B, and D describe other aspects of project management but do not capture the essence of delegating day-to-day responsibilities, which is the primary purpose of directing a project.
