PRINCE2 Practitioner 6th Edition — Question 33

ABC Company has a standard course development model with four defined stages that the company manages using PRINCE2. The project manager for the
Health and Safety Training Project has recommended the stage 2 of the standard model be split into two separate stages. As a result, there will now be five management stages in the project.
Is this an appropriate application of the 'tailor to suit the project' principle, and why?

Answer options

• A. Yes, because the project manager can adapt or combine PRINCE2 process to suit the project.
• B. Yes, because the standard course development structure should be tailored to suit the project.
• C. No, because a simple project should have no more than two management stages.
• D. No, because the standard course development structure should be applied to the project.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because the 'tailor to suit the project' principle allows for modifications to the standard course development structure to meet specific project needs. Options A and D suggest incorrect interpretations of the tailoring principle, while option C incorrectly states the number of management stages suitable for a simple project.
