Which PRINCE2 principle is supported by the setting of tolerances for the three levels of plan?

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

The PRINCE2 principle supported by the setting of tolerances for the three levels of plan (Project, Stage, and Team Plans) is "Manage by exception."

Which of the following statements about lines of authority and reporting are true?

Statement 2 is also correct because if a Team Manager forecasts a deviation beyond Work Package tolerances, it should indeed be referred to the Project Manager.
