What is the project manager role responsible for?

AApproving the completion of each management stage

BEnsuring that the project produces the required products

CDefining the project-level tolerances

DVerifying that the project gives value for money

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: A

In PRINCE2, baselines are used to establish a reference point for the agreed state of products, against which actual progress can be compared and managed. By requesting a report to check for conflicts between the agreed and actual states of products, the project manager is effectively applying the concept of baselines within issue management. This helps in identifying deviations from the agreed deliverables and initiating corrective actions to address these discrepancies. Reference: (PRINCE2 7 Foundation Handbook, AXELOS)

I feel like approving the completion of each management stage is important, but I can't recall if that's specifically the project manager's job or someone else's.

I’m a bit confused about the value for money aspect. I thought that was more of a financial role rather than the project manager's responsibility.

I remember a practice question where we discussed project tolerances, so I feel like defining those might be part of the role too.

Okay, I've got this. The project manager is responsible for ensuring the project produces the required products, which is option B. That's a core part of their role in overseeing the successful delivery of the project.
