PRINCE2 Practitioner 6th Edition — Question 50

The Training Delivery Manager was identified as the senior user. However, before the project begins, this manager goes on long-term sick leave. The executive says that they do not need to replace the role of senior user on the project board.
Is this an appropriate application of the 'defined roles and responsibilities' principle, and why?

Answer options

• A. Yes, because the executive can ensure that the investment provides value for money.
• B. Yes, because having two out of three of the stakeholder interests represented on the project board is enough.
• C. No, because trainers need to be represented on the project board to ensure the outcomes meet the trainers' needs.
• D. No, because the resources and expertise required by the project may be internal or external.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because having trainers represented is crucial to ensure that their needs are addressed, which directly impacts the project's success. Options A and B incorrectly assume that the absence of the senior user does not affect project outcomes, while D highlights a valid concern but does not specifically address the importance of trainer representation on the project board.
