PRINCE2 Foundation — Question 170

How many management stages should a PRINCE2 project consist of?

Answer options

• A. Start up stage, initiation stage and at least one other management stage to cover the remainder of the project
• B. Start up stage, at least one other management stage to cover the remainder of the project and a closing stage
• C. Initiation stage and at least one other management stage to cover the remainder of the project
• D. Start up stage, initiation stage and a closing stage

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because PRINCE2 mandates that a project must include an initiation stage and at least one additional management stage to manage the project's execution. Options A, B, and D include stages that are not required or do not meet the minimum criteria outlined by PRINCE2, such as the need for a closing stage or other unnecessary stages.
