CA project should have fewer, longer stages when the risk exposure is high

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: B

The 'manage by stages' principle in PRINCE2 dictates that the end of each stage provides a control point at which the project board can review progress, reassess project viability, and decide on the next steps. This approach allows for regular monitoring and decision-making, ensuring that the project remains aligned with its objectives and within its tolerances.

B is the way to go, every stage needs a checkpoint!

C seems off; shorter stages can help manage risk better.

I thought that having separate stages for planning, delivering, and closing was important, but I can't recall if that's what the principle states.

I feel like we practiced a question similar to this, and I think the project board definitely needs control points at the end of each stage, which sounds like B again.

I remember discussing how stages help manage risk, but I'm not sure if longer stages are better when risk is high.

I think the 'manage by stages' principle emphasizes control points, so maybe option B is correct?

I'm pretty confident about this one. The 'manage by stages' principle is all about giving the project board control points to review progress and make decisions. So option B, where the end of a stage provides a control point, is the correct answer.

Okay, I've got this. The 'manage by stages' principle is all about breaking the project down into smaller, more manageable chunks. So option D makes the most sense - a project should have separate stages to plan, deliver, and close.

Hmm, I'm a bit confused by this question. I know the 'manage by stages' principle is important, but I'm not sure which of these options is correct. I might need to review my notes on that before answering.

This is a tricky one. I'm not entirely sure about the 'manage by stages' principle, but I think option B sounds right - the end of a stage should provide a control point for the project board.

I'm a bit confused on this one. Placing a lock on a resource seems like it could fall under different roles, like User Access Administrator or Network Contributor. I'll need to review the permissions for each of these options to determine the best fit.
