PRINCE2 Foundation — Question 318

Which statement applies to Stage Plans?

Answer options

• A. Always have the same duration as the Project Plan
• B. Are produced at the same time as the Project Initiation Documentation
• C. Assist the Project Manager in the day-to-day running and control of the project
• D. Provide a baseline against which the Project Board monitor overall progress

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because Stage Plans are specifically designed to aid the Project Manager in managing and controlling the project on a day-to-day basis. The other options are incorrect as Stage Plans do not necessarily align in duration with the Project Plan (A), are not produced at the same time as the Project Initiation Documentation (B), and while they do provide information, they are not the primary baseline for the Project Board's overall progress monitoring (D).
