PRINCE2 Practitioner 6th Edition — Question 35

The product description for the 'classroom-based training materials' states that the classroom training should take no more than one day to deliver to attendees.
During stage 3 the Training Delivery Manager informed the project manager that it will take three days to deliver the training to attendees. Project assurance has confirmed that the project will still be delivered within project time, cost and quality tolerances. Therefore, the project manager has granted a concession for the product.
Is this an appropriate application of the 'change' theme, and why?

Answer options

• A. Yes, because no exception report is required as the project time cost and quality tolerances will not be exceeded
• B. Yes, because the project manager is responsible for the day-to-day management of the project
• C. No, because a concession for an off-specification needs to be approved by the project board
• D. No, because a lessons report should be produced by the project manager when a concession is issued

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because any significant changes or concessions regarding project specifications should be formally approved by the project board to ensure proper governance. Options A and B are incorrect since they overlook the need for board approval, and D is incorrect because a lessons report is not a requirement for issuing a concession.
