PRINCE2 Practitioner — Question 18

QUALITY -
An independent consultant had been contracted to design the ‘e-learning course’ and was appointed as a senior supplier on the project board. The design has now been completed and passed to another company to do the development work. The consultant has also has been asked to review the ‘e-learning course’ after it has been developed.
Is this appropriate, and why?

Answer options

• A. Yes, because the senior supplier is responsible for the final acceptance of all project products.
• B. Yes, because the consultant has the necessary experience to review the ‘e-learning course’.
• C. No, because members of the project board cannot be involved in quality reviews in the reviewer role.
• D. No, because the consultant is responsible for agreeing the requirements for the ‘e-learning course’.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because individuals on the project board are typically not allowed to perform quality reviews to maintain objectivity and prevent conflicts of interest. Options A and B incorrectly assume that the consultant's role allows for such reviews, while option D misrepresents the consultant's responsibilities regarding requirements rather than review processes.
