PRINCE2 Foundation — Question 247

Why may it be appropriate to increase the length of several short management stages?

Answer options

• A. The project needs more time to resolve risky, innovative aspects
• B. The project needs more time to complete the initiation activities
• C. The project board does not have confidence in the management team
• D. The project board wants to reduce the project management overhead

Correct answer: D

Explanation

Increasing the length of management stages can be appropriate if the project board wants to reduce project management overhead, as longer stages may streamline decision-making and reduce the frequency of management interventions. The other options indicate either a need for more time for specific activities or a lack of confidence in the management team, which do not directly relate to the appropriateness of lengthening stages.
