Exam PRINCE2-Foundation topic 1 question 454 discussion

he Plans theme requires the following plans as minimum: Project Plan: This is essential as it provides the overall view of the project's objectives, timeline, and costs. Stage Plan: This is necessary for each stage of the project to outline the work and deliverables for that specific stage. Exception Plan: This is created when the project deviates from the agreed-upon tolerances, and it provides a corrective course of action.

D is correct; Here’s why the other options are not correct: A. Project plan: Incorrect. The Project Plan is mandatory because it provides the overall baseline for the project, including the schedule, costs, and key deliverables. B. Stage plan: Incorrect. Stage Plans are mandatory for each management stage to provide detailed information on how the work for that stage will be carried out and controlled. C. Exception plan: Incorrect. Exception Plans are mandatory when a tolerance (time, cost, scope, etc.) is forecasted to be breached, as they replace the existing plan for managing the project or stage. The Team Plan is optional because PRINCE2 allows flexibility in how work packages are managed, depending on the complexity and scale of the project.

In PRINCE2, the minimum requirements for the plans theme include the necessity of a project plan and stage plans. Exception plans are created as needed when tolerances are exceeded. However, team plans are considered optional because they are used to detail the work at a more granular level for individual teams and may not be necessary for every project. The focus remains on the higher-level project and stage plans to ensure overall control and direction.

Correct is D Team plans: a plan used as the basis for organizing and controlling the work of a team when executing a work package. Team plans are optional in PRINCE2. Their requirements and extent will be determined by the size and complexity of the project and the number of resources involved. Team plans are created in the managing product delivery process

Correct is D Exception Plans are plans that can be used to get the project or stage back on track if the project or stage goes out of tolerance. The Exception Plan picks up from where * the current plan left off and goes to the end of the plan. The Project Plan is updated in each Stage Boundary process, and it shows when and which products have been created in the last stage. The Project Plan is also updated to include any new planning information from the next Stage Plan and perhaps other forecast information. At the end of the project, the Project Plan is updated by the Project Manager. It shows the full cost and timescale for the project, and also showing what has been delivered. The Project Board can compare this plan to the original baselined plan to see how well the project went compared to the original plan. Team Plans are created by the Team Managers and they are optional.

Exception plan is out of necessity
