PRINCE2 Foundation — Question 60

If a project is part of a programme, which 'starting up a project' process activities are MOST likely to be reduced or eliminated?

Answer options

• A. Appointing the project board and producing the project brief
• B. Planning the initiation stage and appointing the project manager
• C. Producing the additional role descriptions and validating the project product description
• D. Verifying the project approach and capturing previous lessons

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because when a project is part of a programme, the project board is usually already established, and the project brief may have been developed at the programme level. Options B, C, and D still require specific actions that are vital for initiating the project effectively, regardless of its inclusion in a programme.
