PRINCE2 Practitioner 6th Edition — Question 41

One of the senior managers of the company that is developing the 'e-learning course' has worked with ABC Company before. The team manager for the delivery of the 'e-learning course' has looked on ABC Company's intranet, but cannot find any reference to this work. The team manager has contacted the senior manager to discuss this project.
Is this an appropriate application of the 'learn from experience' principle, and why?

Answer options

• A. Yes, because the project involves more than one organization.
• B. Yes, because the team manager should actively look for useful information.
• C. No, because the senior manager should advise the team manager of any lessons.
• D. No, because every project is unique and should deliver specific business objectives

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because the team manager's initiative to seek relevant information demonstrates an active application of the 'learn from experience' principle. Option A is incorrect because the principle applies regardless of the number of organizations involved. Option C is not right since it places the responsibility solely on the senior manager, and Option D is misleading as learning from past experiences can still yield valuable insights for unique projects.
