Exam PRINCE2-Practitioner topic 11 question 41 discussion

Refer Page 24 If the project no longer has a valid business case, and the project board has been delegated the appropriate authority, it will prematurely close the project. Without this authority, the project board will escalate its recommendation for closure to the corporate, programme management or customer decision makers.

The answer is A. Yes, because decisions about closure should be escalated to programme management, unless otherwise instructed. In PRINCE2, if the project board thinks the project tolerances will be breached, they no longer have authority to continue with the project and must escalate the situation back up to corporate, programme management, or the customer1. This is part of the ‘manage by stages’ principle, which involves reviewing the project at the end of each stage and deciding whether to proceed with the next stage2.
