Which of the following statements about stakeholders are true?

1. Someone who thinks they will be affected by a project is a stakeholder on that project.
2. Stakeholders may be internal or external to the corporate organization.

  1. Only 1 is true
  2. Only 2 is true
  3. Both 1 and 2 are true
  4. Neither 1 or 2 are true

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

Both statements about stakeholders are true in the context of PRINCE2®. A stakeholder in a project includes anyone who thinks they will be affected by the project, which can include both supporters and those who may oppose the project. Additionally, stakeholders can be both internal and external to the organization that is undertaking the project.

Whose approval is needed to replace a Stage Plan with an Exception Plan?

  1. Corporate or programme management
  2. Project Board
  3. Project Manager
  4. Team Manager

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

The approval needed to replace a Stage Plan with an Exception Plan must come from the Project Board. This is because the Exception Plan is created when a Stage Plan is forecast to exceed its tolerance levels, and the Project Board is responsible for approving such significant changes in the project's direction or management.

How many roles make up the Project Board?

  1. One
  2. Two
  3. Three
  4. Four

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

The Project Board within the PRINCE2® framework is made up of three key roles: the Executive, the Senior User, and the Senior Supplier. These roles represent the business, user, and supplier interests respectively, ensuring that the project's decision-making is balanced across these three perspectives.

Which is a difference between management and technical stages?

  1. Management stages require planning and technical stages do not
  2. Technical stages can overlap and management stages cannot
  3. Management stages deliver products and technical stages do not
  4. Technical stages require resources and management stages do not

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

A key difference between management and technical stages in PRINCE2® is that technical stages can overlap whereas management stages cannot. Technical stages refer to the actual work being done, which can sometimes proceed in parallel, while management stages are concerned with the control and decision points that must be sequential to ensure proper governance.

Which is a true statement about PRINCE2 event-driven controls?

  1. Event-driven controls take place at predefined periodic intervals
  2. Event-driven controls are produced at the frequency defined in a Work Package
  3. Event-driven controls are used for decision making
  4. Checkpoint Reports are event-driven controls

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

PRINCE2 defines event-driven controls as those that are triggered by the occurrence of certain events within the project lifecycle, such as the completion of a product or phase. These controls are essential for decision-making because they provide necessary information at key points, allowing project managers and the Project Board to make informed decisions about the future of the project.
