Exam PRINCE2-Practitioner topic 11 question 1 discussion

Actual exam question from PRINCE2's PRINCE2-Practitioner Edition 6
Question #: 1
Topic #: 11
[All PRINCE2-Practitioner Edition 6 Questions]

Based on lessons from previous projects that used the ABC Company standard development model, the project board has set low cost and time tolerances for stage 2. As a result, the project manager plans to set very low tolerances for time and cost for all work packages to be carried out during stage 2.
Is this an appropriate application of the 'manage by exception' principle, and why?

  • A. Yes, because the project manager should set tolerance equally for all work packages in a stage.
  • B. Yes, because setting appropriate tolerances for work packages will help keep the stage within tolerances.
  • C. No, because tolerances set by the project manager should be the same as those set by the project board.
  • D. No, because the project manager should divide the stage tolerances between the team managers.

B So, while each work package might have different requirements and complexities, setting appropriate tolerances for each one (as per option B) will help keep the overall stage within its set tolerances1. This aligns with the PRINCE2 principle of 'Manage by Exception’1, which aims to provide an efficient way of governing a project by defining clear tolerances for project objectives.
