PRINCE2 Foundation — Question 328

Which statement about the length of management stages in a project is CORRECT?

Answer options

• A. A higher level of major risk will require a stage to be longer
• B. Stage length is influenced by project board availability
• C. A higher level of major risk will require a stage to be shorter
• D. Use of management stages represents a time driven control

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, as higher levels of major risk typically lead to shorter stages to allow for quicker response and adaptation. Options A and B are incorrect because they suggest that higher risks require longer stages or that stage length depends on board availability, which is not true. Option D is also incorrect; while management stages help in control, their length is not strictly time-driven but rather influenced by risk levels.
