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

  1. Manage by stages
  2. Manage by exception
  3. Continued business justification
  4. Learn from experience

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." This principle allows management to set predefined tolerances for project objectives, and only escalate issues to higher management if these tolerances are exceeded, thereby facilitating efficient use of management time and focus.

Which characteristic of a project reflects that there are different perspectives and motivations for customers and suppliers?

  1. Change
  2. Cross-functional
  3. Unique
  4. Risk

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

The characteristic of a project that reflects different perspectives and motivations for customers and suppliers is its "Unique" nature. Projects typically bring together diverse groups, each with distinct objectives and expectations. The uniqueness of a project involves these varied stakeholder inputs and requirements, which often need to be balanced and managed.

Which characteristic distinguishes a project from regular business operations?

  1. Produces benefits
  2. Introduces business change
  3. Manages stakeholders
  4. Incurs cost

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

A characteristic that distinguishes a project from regular business operations is that it introduces business change. Projects are temporary endeavors undertaken to create a unique product, service, or result, and they often drive significant changes within an organization, unlike regular operations, which are repetitive and ongoing.

Which does NOT reflect the PRINCE2 principle of continued business justification?

  1. There must be a justifiable reason for starting a project
  2. The business justification drives decision making
  3. If a project is no longer forecast to deliver a financial benefit, it should be stopped.
  4. If a project can no longer be justified, it should be stopped

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

The principle of continued business justification in PRINCE2 means that a project must remain justified throughout its life cycle. The key factor is the project's ongoing justification, not solely its ability to deliver financial benefits. Projects may continue for reasons other than financial gain, such as strategic importance, compliance, or public safety. Therefore, stopping a project based only on financial criteria does not reflect this principle accurately.
