PRINCE2 Practitioner 6th Edition — Question 22

A quality review of the 'marketing materials' has started. The team manager for the 'marketing materials' has been unhappy with the team's workload throughout the project and refuses to attend the review meeting to present the material. The team manager suggests that a new marketing team member make the presentation. However, the chair decides to represent the marketing team and makes a list of actions to resolve later.
Is this an appropriate approach to the quality review, and why?

Answer options

• A. Yes, because the role of presenter should not be performed by a junior member of the team.
• B. Yes, because the roles of chair, presenter and administrator may be combined.
• C. No, because the role of presenter should be performed by the team manager.
• D. No, because the chair should be independent from the product being reviewed.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because the chair's independence is crucial for an unbiased review of the marketing materials. Allowing the chair to present could compromise the integrity of the review process. Answers A, B, and C all fail to recognize the need for impartiality in the review, which is essential for a fair evaluation.
