PRINCE2 Practitioner Exam - Topic 2 Question 43 Discussion

Actual exam question for PRINCE2's PRINCE2 Practitioner exam

Question #: 43
Topic #: 2

The project is now in stage 2. The 'training venue specifications' will not be delivered to schedule and the stage is forecast to exceed its time tolerance. As a result, the project manager has agreed with the team manager that the 'training venue specifications' will be delivered in stage 3 instead of stage 2.

Is this an appropriate action, and why?

AYes, because the project manager should recommend corrective actions required.

BYes, because moving the work enables stage 2 to be delivered within tolerance.

CNo, because the team manager should inform the project manager by raising an issue.

DNo, because the stage deviation should be referred to the project board for a decision.

Wait, is it really okay to push it to stage 3?

Sounds like a smart move to keep stage 2 on track.

I think the project board should be involved in decisions like this, so option D might be the best answer, but I’m not completely confident.

I feel like the team manager should definitely raise an issue if there's a delay, but I'm not clear if that means the project manager can't make adjustments.

I remember a similar question where the focus was on keeping the project within tolerance, so option B seems like the right choice here.

I'm not entirely sure, but I think moving the specifications to stage 3 might be okay if it keeps stage 2 on track.

I'm a bit confused on this one. Is it asking about the criteria for the requirements themselves, or the criteria for the contract? I want to make sure I understand the question properly before answering.

Ah, I remember learning about this in class. I think the key features are that there's a predefined list of values, but you can also enter your own. So I'll go with A and D.

I remember practicing a question similar to this, and it definitely emphasized needing the right context for the CLI commands. "config t" seems off for switching VDCs.

I think requiring auditors to read audit journals and references is a good way to establish consistency. That would help align them on best practices and industry standards. But I'm curious to hear what the other options might be.
