PRINCE2 Practitioner 6th Edition — Question 6
The project board has asked user and supplier assurance to review all product descriptions relating to the 'updated corporate quality procedures', prior to authorizing the stage plan for stage 3.
Is this appropriate as part of the 'directing a project' process, and why?
Answer options
- A. Yes, because project assurance should assess whether all stakeholders have been identified, if requested by the project board.
- B. Yes, because project assurance should review the stage 3 plan for viability, if requested by the project board.
- C. No, because the project manager is responsible for writing product descriptions when creating the stage 3 plan.
- D. No, because the project board should review new product descriptions before they authorize the stage 3 plan.
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is D because the project board should ensure that all product descriptions are thoroughly evaluated before they approve the stage plan. Options A and B incorrectly focus on project assurance's role rather than the board's responsibility, while option C misplaces the accountability for product descriptions.
