PRINCE2 Foundation — Question 302

Which is the BEST reason for a PRINCE2 project to have at least two stages?

Answer options

• A. It enables the project team to close the project in an orderly fashion
• B. It enables the project board to decide whether to proceed with the delivery of the project product
• C. It enables the project team to change the scope of the project by agreeing the impact on the business case
• D. It enables the project board to approve the appointment of external contractors, when required

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because having multiple stages provides an opportunity for the project board to evaluate the project's progress and make informed decisions about its continuation. Option A is incorrect as orderly closure does not necessitate multiple stages, while C and D relate to scope changes and contractor approvals, which are not the primary reasons for having at least two stages.
