PRINCE2 Practitioner 6th Edition — Question 43

During stage 3, a work package was assigned to produce the 'planned pilot courses'. The product's quality criteria were defined and baselined before the work package was agreed.
Which principle is being applied, and why?

Answer options

• A. 'Focus on products', because delivering a product's complete set of features is more important than delivering it on time or to cost.
• B. 'Focus on products', because a product should be agreed and defined to a reasonable extent before production begins.
• C. 'Continued business justification', because the business justification is partly defined in the product description of a specialist product.
• D. 'Continued business justification', because both work activities and products contribute to the success of the project.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

'Focus on products' is the correct principle here since it emphasizes the importance of having a clear and agreed-upon definition of the product before production starts, ensuring quality and alignment with expectations. The other options either misinterpret the focus on product definition or confuse the principles, making them incorrect in this context.
