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

Show Suggested Answer Hide 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.

I feel like "Continued business justification" could be relevant too, but I can't recall how it connects with tolerances.

I practiced a question similar to this, and I believe "Manage by stages" was mentioned in that context. But I could be mixing them up.

I think it might be "Manage by exception," but I'm not entirely sure. I remember something about tolerances being related to that principle.
