Which PRINCE2 principle is supported by the setting of tolerances for the three levels of plan?

BManage by exception

CContinued business justification

DLearn from experience

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: B

The PRINCE2 principle supported by the setting of tolerances for the three levels of plan (Project, Stage, and Team Plans) is 'Manage by exception.' This principle allows management to set predefined tolerances for project objectives, and only escalate issues to higher management if these tolerances are exceeded, thereby facilitating efficient use of management time and focus.

I remember discussing "Learn from experience" in class, but I don't see how it fits with setting tolerances. I think it's definitely one of the other options.
