  2. Highlight Report
  3. Issue Report
  4. Product Status Account

Answer(s): C

Which is the Issue Register NOT used for?

  1. Capture external events that are impacting a stage
  2. Record information about a deviation in stage tolerance
  3. Capture any threats or opportunities that might have an impact on a stage
  4. Record any problems identified when authorizing a Work Package

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

The Issue Register in PRINCE2® is used to capture and record all issues that may affect the project but it is not designed to capture external events unless they become issues directly impacting project deliverables or processes. Its primary function is to log problems identified in project execution, not general external events.

Which should be funded from a change budget?

  1. The Starting up a Project process
  2. A fallback plan
  3. An agreed change to the scope of a project
  4. A change to a plan, within allocated tolerances, due to poor estimating

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

Similar to the answer to question 11, the change budget is specifically allocated for changes that are agreed upon that modify the scope of the project. This ensures that any scope modifications are funded without compromising the existing budget for planned deliverables.

  1. Increase in agreed scope
  2. Initiation stage
  3. Change Authority
  4. Handover activities

Answer(s): A
