PRINCE2-7-Foundation Exam - Topic 1 Question 37 Discussion

Actual exam question for PRINCE2's PRINCE2-7-Foundation exam
Question #: 37
Topic #: 1
[All PRINCE2-7-Foundation Questions]

When should the Project Board refer to corporate or programme management for a decision?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: B

The Project Board should refer to corporate or programme management for decisions when it is forecast that the project level tolerance will be exceeded. This scenario typically triggers an exception process as the predefined tolerances are fundamental limits within which the Project Board allows the Project Manager to manage the project. Reference: PRINCE2 Foundation official study guide and materials.

A seems a bit vague. Resources can be managed at the project level, right?

The Senior Supplier or Senior User change in option C also seems like a valid reason to get the higher-ups involved. Gotta keep those key stakeholders happy.

Haha, I bet the project manager is sweating bullets trying to avoid exceeding those tolerances. Better call in the big guns!

D is also a valid option. Any request for change should be approved by the appropriate authority, which in this case would be the higher-ups.

I agree with John. Exceeding project-level tolerance is a clear sign that the Project Board needs to get corporate/program management involved.

Option B seems like the obvious choice here. If the project is forecast to exceed its tolerance, the Project Board should definitely escalate to higher management.

I feel like any request for change should definitely go up for approval, but I’m not clear if that’s the same as needing a decision from corporate management.

Changing the Senior Supplier or Senior User seems significant enough to involve corporate management, but I wonder if it’s always necessary.

I think the Project Board should refer to corporate management when project level tolerance is forecasted to be exceeded, but I'm not entirely sure if that's the only situation.

This question seems pretty straightinting. I'm not 100% confident on the specific criteria for when the Project Board should escalate, so I'll need to review that part of the PRINCE2 framework carefully. Hopefully I can figure out the right approach.

Okay, I think I've got this. The key is knowing when the project is deviating from the plan and needs higher-level input, like if we're going to exceed our tolerance or need to change a key role. I'll make sure I'm clear on those triggers.

I remember a practice question where we discussed resource allocation, but I can't recall if that alone warrants a referral to corporate management.

Hmm, not totally sure about this one. I'll need to review my notes on PRINCE2 governance to make sure I understand when the Project Board should bring in higher-level management. Might be a good idea to practice some sample questions.

This seems like a straightforward question about when the Project Board should escalate decisions. I'd focus on the key triggers like exceeding tolerance levels or needing to change key stakeholders.
