PRINCE2 Practitioner Exam - Topic 4 Question 89 Discussion

Actual exam question for PRINCE2's PRINCE2 Practitioner exam

Question #: 89
Topic #: 4

Scenario:

The Ministry of Food Hygiene (MFH) has a quality management system which contains a document control process to manage all documentation requirements. The document control process was created by the MFH Quality Manager, who now maintains all of MFH's documents and performs an organization-wide configuration management role. The MFH Quality Manager will administer the configuration management procedure for the Restructuring project since this must comply with the MFH document control process.

According to PRINCE2, which statement about appointing the MFH Quality Manager to administer the configuration management procedure is correct?

AThe MFH Quality Manager should administer the configuration management procedure on this project because this task should always be assigned to corporate or programme management.

BThe MFH Quality Manager should only administer the configuration management procedure on one project at a time. If the MFH Quality Manager already performs this task on another project, another individual should be appointed.

CThe MFH Quality Manager would be suitable to perform this task because he is the author of the document control process and is likely to have the knowledge required for this role.

I vaguely recall something about corporate management needing to oversee certain tasks, which makes me question if option A could be correct, but I’m not confident about it.

I feel like the PRINCE2 guidelines emphasize the importance of having the right person in charge, so option C might be the best choice since the quality manager created the document control process.

I'm not entirely sure, but I think we went over a similar question where it mentioned that one person shouldn't manage multiple projects at once. That makes me lean towards option B.

I remember we discussed how the quality manager's expertise could be beneficial for the configuration management procedure, so option C seems plausible.

I'm a little confused by the wording of the options. I'll need to re-read them a few times to make sure I understand the nuances between them before selecting an answer.

The fact that the MFH Quality Manager created the document control process makes me think option C is the right answer. That person would likely have the necessary knowledge and authority to manage the configuration on this project.

Okay, let me think this through. The key seems to be understanding who should administer the configuration management procedure according to PRINCE2. I'll need to review those guidelines carefully.

Hmm, the question doesn't mention if the Quality Manager has the bandwidth to take on this additional project. Maybe a little more info would be helpful here.
