PRINCE2 Practitioner 6th Edition — Question 25

ABC Company uses a standard development model to develop courses and uses PRINCE2 to manage these projects. The objectives from the Health and Safety
Training Project have been documented in the business plan of ABC Company. This business plan has triggered this project. As a result, to save time, the executive has decided to simplify the 'starting up a project' process. The project mandate will be adapted and becomes the project brief.
Is this appropriate, and why?

Answer options

• A. Yes, because the business outcomes are clear, the project brief can be a sample statement elaborating the mandate.
• B. Yes, because the executive can initiate the project based on the project mandate by passing the 'starting up a project' process.
• C. No, because the project brief should be a statement which includes a fuller description of the project.
• D. No, because capturing lessons from previous projects identify lessons to be applied to this project.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because the project brief should contain a detailed description of the project, which goes beyond just adapting the mandate. Options A and B are incorrect as they overlook the necessity of a comprehensive brief, while D is incorrect as it addresses lesson capturing rather than the brief's content requirements.
