Which product records any project outcomes perceived as negative by stakeholders?
C
Explanation:
In PRINCE2®, the Communication Management Strategy is the document that outlines how project
communications should be managed. It includes how information will be disseminated amongst
stakeholders and how feedback will be collected. Negative outcomes perceived by stakeholders are
typically recorded as part of the feedback mechanism defined in the Communication Management
Strategy. Reference: PRINCE2® Foundation official guide and study material.
What is the definition of a project outcome?
C
Explanation:
According to PRINCE2®, a project outcome is defined as the result of the change derived from
utilizing the project's outputs. Outcomes are what the project seeks to achieve which may involve a
change in the way an organization operates. Reference: PRINCE2® Foundation official guide and
study material.
Which is NOT a purpose of a Benefits Review Plan?
A
Explanation:
The Benefits Review Plan in PRINCE2® does not typically involve defining the period over which the
cost-benefit analysis will be based. Its main purposes are to describe how and when the benefits of
the project will be measured, including the scope, timing, and responsibility for the benefit reviews
post-project closure. Reference: PRINCE2® Foundation official guide and study material.
Which product documents the information needed to demonstrate continued business justification?
A
Explanation:
The Business Case in PRINCE2® documents the information needed to establish and maintain a
project's continued business justification. It includes details on the expected benefits, costs, risks,
and the rationale for the project, providing a basis to judge whether the project remains viable.
Reference: PRINCE2® Foundation official guide and study material.
Which is NOT a purpose of a Benefits Review Plan?
A
Explanation:
This answer remains the same as question 3. The Benefits Review Plan's purpose does not typically
include defining the period for the cost-benefit analysis. Instead, it focuses on outlining how the
benefits of the project are to be reviewed and measured after the project's closure. Reference:
PRINCE2® Foundation official guide and study material.
These answers are derived from the official PRINCE2® documentation and study materials available
for the PRINCE2® Foundation certification.
What is an off-specification?
C
Explanation:
An off-specification in PRINCE2 is considered a type of issue that arises when a project deliverable is
forecasted to deviate from its agreed-upon specifications or requirements. It is an important part of
the issue and change control procedure in PRINCE2, where it's recognized and managed to ensure
the project stays aligned with its objectives. Reference: PRINCE2 Foundation Training Manual,
PRINCE2 official website
Which is a type of issue?
B
Explanation:
In the PRINCE2 framework, a type of issue that can commonly occur is a request for change. This
refers to a proposal for a change or modification to any aspect of the project, which may involve
changes to the project's baseline aspects such as scope, product descriptions, quality criteria, or
timeframes. Reference: PRINCE2 Foundation Training Manual, PRINCE2 official website
Which is a typical core activity within configuration management?
C
Explanation:
Verification and audit is a typical core activity within configuration management according to
PRINCE2. This activity involves checking that products meet their requirements and are appropriately
approved, and ensuring that all items are correctly accounted for, controlled, and both physically and
logically consistent throughout the project lifecycle. Reference: PRINCE2 Foundation Training
Manual, PRINCE2 official website
Which is a typical core activity within configuration management?
C
Explanation:
Identification is one of the core activities within configuration management in the PRINCE2
methodology. This activity entails defining and identifying the configuration items within a project,
documenting their relationships and characteristics, and ensuring that each product's unique identity
is maintained throughout the project. Reference: PRINCE2 Foundation Training Manual, PRINCE2
official website
What needs to be in place to ensure effective issue and change control?
A
Explanation:
Effective issue and change control within a PRINCE2® project relies heavily on a configuration
management system. This system tracks all items of the project, including their versions and
changes, allowing for controlled changes and ensuring that all items are identified, accounted for,
and monitored throughout the project. Reference: PRINCE2® Foundation official study guide and
online resources.
Which should be funded by a change budget?
A
Explanation:
The change budget in a PRINCE2® project is designed to fund changes that involve an increase in the
agreed scope of the project. Such changes typically require additional budget allocations as they
extend or modify what the project initially planned to deliver. Reference: PRINCE2® Foundation
official study guide and online resources.
Which should be funded from a change budget?
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. Reference: PRINCE2®
Foundation official study guide and online resources.
Which is the Issue Register NOT used for?
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. Reference: PRINCE2® Foundation official study guide and online resources.
If the Project Board instructs the Project Manager to implement a request for change, which
document would contain details of that change?
C
Explanation:
When the Project Board instructs the Project Manager to implement a request for change, details of
that change are contained in an Issue Report. This document provides a detailed description of the
issue, its evaluation, and the decisions regarding its resolution, including any changes to be
implemented. Reference: PRINCE2® Foundation official study guide and online resources.
These answers are based on the latest materials and guidelines from the PRINCE2® Foundation
documentation and should reflect the most current practices and theoretical underpinnings of the
methodology.
Which is the purpose of the Change theme?
B
Explanation:
The purpose of the Change theme in PRINCE2 is to establish a clear, structured approach for
identifying, assessing, and controlling changes to baselined products. This theme ensures that only
approved changes are implemented, helping to manage and minimize their potential impacts on the
project's objectives. Reference: PRINCE2 Foundation manual, PRINCE2 official resources
