PRINCE2 Practitioner — Question 47

The project is at the end of the initiation stage and the project manager is finalizing the high-level project plan. The stage 2 plan is also being produced and the architect has been asked to produce the team plan for the design to support production of the stage plan. The project manager will submit the high-level project plan and the architect's team plan to the project board for approval at the end of stage 1.
Is this an appropriate application of the ‘plans’ practice, and why?

Answer options

• A. Yes, because the high-level project plan should provide the project board with the confidence that the project will fulfil its business case
• B. Yes, because high-level project plan should identity the work packages into which the architect's delivery activities will be organized
• C. No, because the stage plan should be submitted to the project board for approval, along with the architect's team plan
• D. No, because the high-level project plan and the stage plan not the architect's team plan, should be submitted to the project board to provide them with confidence that the project will fulfil its business case

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because, at this stage, the project manager should focus on submitting the stage plan along with the architect's team plan to the project board for approval. Options A and B incorrectly emphasize the high-level project plan's role over the stage plan, while option D also misplaces the priority of the plans to be submitted.
