Exam PRINCE2-Foundation topic 1 question 450 discussion

The PM never delegates managing responsibility. They may delegate work, not responsibility. They are  managing relationships within the project ecosystem, including project assurance roles and the project board. The responsibility of the project manager as a single focus means the role should not be shared or combined with other roles. Answer is C.

A is correct; Why other options are not correct: B. Appointing the executive in the 'starting up a project' process: The executive is appointed by the organization or customer, not the project manager. C. Communicating with corporate, programme management or the customer: While the project manager communicates with these stakeholders, it's not their primary responsibility. The project board has the main responsibility for external communication. D. Approving an exception plan to replace the current stage plan: The project board approves exception plans, not the project manager.

This is C Managing: the project manager is responsible for the day-to-day management of the project within the constraints established by the project board.
