Question #: 23
Topic #: 1

Which of the following statements about customer's quality expectations and acceptance criteria are true?

1. Customer's quality expectations form a specific and precise list of measurable criteria that a project product should meet in order to be acceptable to key stakeholders.

2. Acceptance criteria are often expressed in broad terms as a means to gain common understanding of general quality requirements.

AOnly 1 is true

BOnly 2 is true

CBoth 1 and 2 are true

DNeither 1 or 2 are true

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)

This question is making me thirsty. I could really go for a nice, crisp acceptance letter right about now.

Ah, the age-old debate of precision vs. flexibility. I'm siding with option C - you can't spell 'acceptance' without 'acceptance'!

I think having both specific criteria and general understanding is important for meeting customer expectations.

I'm not sure. I think only the second statement is true because acceptance criteria are usually broader.
