PRINCE2 Practitioner — Question 48

The following entry has been recorded in the issue register:
“It will be more difficult to ensure the security of the construction site due to its size. As a result, there may be unauthorized access to the site, leading to high levels of theft."
Is this an appropriate application of the ‘issues’ practice, and why?

Answer options

• A. Yes, because the project management team should be concerned about security on the site
• B. Yes, because the project management team should consider the impact of the thefts on the project budget
• C. No, because the project management team should record these thefts as a threat, rather than an issue
• D. No, because the project management team should focus on the important issues

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because it highlights the importance of addressing security concerns, which directly affects the project's integrity. Options B and C misinterpret the nature of the issues practice by focusing on budget impacts or misclassifying the concern. Option D incorrectly suggests that security issues are not significant enough to warrant attention.
