PRINCE2 Practitioner — Question 46

The project is at the end of stage 2. The project manager has reviewed the stage and requested the project board to authorize the next stage. After reviewing the design and the work planned for stage 3, the project board agreed that this design will improve the vibrancy of the area, as required. However, the CEO of BulldyBrick has decided that there is not enough profit for BuildyBrick to continue on the project. BuildyBrick has decided to use a clause in the contract to leave the project with no penalties.
Which principle is being applied, and why?

Answer options

• A. Manage by stages, because the project should be stopped at the end of a stage if it s no longer viable to continue with it
• B. Manage by stages, because the project board should make the decision to allow BulldyBrick to leave the project at the end stage 2, before committing to stage 3
• C. Ensure continued business justification, because BuildyBrick's financial benefits from the project should be enough to warrant their ongoing participation
• D. Ensure continued business justification, because the new shopping centre design should contribute to the increased vibrancy of LouisTown

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because it emphasizes the necessity for BuildyBrick to receive sufficient financial benefits to justify their continued engagement in the project. Options A and B focus on project management stages rather than the financial rationale for participation. Option D, while noting the design's impact on vibrancy, does not address the financial justification aspect, which is critical in this scenario.
