ASenior supplier AND team manager

CProject executive AND project manager

DProject manager AND team manager

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: C

Under the 'exception management technique' in PRINCE2, the roles most likely to identify issues that exceed stage tolerances are the Project Executive and the Project Manager. The Project Manager monitors the project's progress against its plans and will identify any deviations that might breach the set tolerances. The Project Executive, being accountable for the project's overall success, also plays a crucial role in overseeing tolerance thresholds and taking appropriate actions when these are exceeded.

I feel like the senior supplier might have a role too, but I guess it depends on the context of the project. Could it be option B?

I practiced a similar question where the project manager was key in managing tolerances, but I can't recall if the team manager is also involved.

I'm a bit unsure about this one. The options seem to be mixing different project roles, so I'll need to make sure I understand the distinctions between them.
