Q1Which TWO reasons support the use of project management in regulated industries?
Show answer
✓ Correct answer: Defined responsibilities and audit trails
Project management improves traceability and control — vital in regulated sectors. Why the other options are incorrect: • Faster informal communication: Informal communication lacks auditability. • Avoidance of documentation: Documentation is essential in regulation. • Less focus on risk management: Risk management is a priority in regulated work.
Q2Which element of PRINCE2 ensures that roles and responsibilities are clearly defined?
Show answer
✓ Correct answer: People
People is one of the integrated elements and covers defined roles and responsibilities. Why the other options are incorrect: • Practices: Practices refer to themes and do not directly define roles. • Processes: Processes focus on actions, not people. • Principles: Principles provide guidance but not specific roles. • Themes: Themes address aspects like quality or risk, not team structure.
Q3Which of the following is an aspect of project performance managed in PRINCE2?
Show answer
✓ Correct answer: Scope
Scope is one of the six key aspects of project performance managed in PRINCE2. Why the other options are incorrect: • Customer loyalty: Customer loyalty is a business outcome, not a PRINCE2 performance aspect. • Team motivation: Motivation is important but not one of the six managed aspects. • Marketing strategy: Marketing strategy is not within the scope of PRINCE2. • Daily operations: Operations are outside the temporary nature of projects.
Q4Which TWO are considered performance aspects in PRINCE2?
Show answer
✓ Correct answer: Time and Cost
Time and Cost are key PRINCE2 aspects monitored and controlled by project management. Why the other options are incorrect: • Motivation and Trust: These are soft skills, not tracked performance aspects. • Teamwork and Leadership: Teamwork is valuable, but not one of the six core aspects. • User Experience and Feedback: Feedback is a measurement input, not a performance area. • Market Share and Profit: Market performance relates to business outcomes, not project control.
Q5How does PRINCE2 support effective communication?
Show answer
✓ Correct answer: By defining communication responsibilities and plans
PRINCE2 promotes communication through role clarity and planned reporting structures. Why the other options are incorrect: • By removing reporting processes: Reporting is a core part of PRINCE2. • By avoiding stakeholder involvement: Stakeholders are central to project communication. • By allowing only verbal updates: Verbal updates are not sufficient alone. • By restricting roles to technical staff: Roles include both business and technical stakeholders.
Q6Which TWO benefits explain why project management is widely adopted?
Show answer
✓ Correct answer: Improved control and accountability
Project management improves control over resources and clarifies roles and responsibilities. Why the other options are incorrect: • Higher levels of operational risk: Project management helps reduce risk, not increase it. • Increased uncertainty and scope creep: Projects manage and reduce scope creep. • Fewer stakeholder communications: Communication is improved, not reduced.
