Exam PRINCE2-Foundation topic 1 question 278 discussion

It is B, Chapter 8.1

It should be B. A is for business case theme

B; Why the other options are not the primary purpose: A. To check that the project is viable and achievable: This is primarily covered by the Business Case and Plans themes. C. To ensure that formal issues are recorded: This is important for issue management but not the core focus of the Quality theme. D. To enable the project to be managed according to plan: While quality contributes to good project management, the primary focus is on the quality of the products themselves.

D. While "B. To ensure that the project outputs are agreed" is certainly a part of the quality theme, it's not the overarching purpose. The most accurate answer here is D. To enable the project to be managed according to plan. Here's why: Fitness for Purpose: The quality theme in PRINCE2 focuses on ensuring that products are "fit for purpose." This means they meet the criteria defined in the project plan and satisfy the needs of the users.   Meeting Requirements: By defining and adhering to quality standards, the project can be managed effectively and deliver the expected outcomes. This includes: Defining clear quality criteria for products.   Implementing quality control procedures.   Using quality assurance to independently review the project.   Managing any quality deviations from the plan.

The purpose of the quality practice is to document the user’s requirements of the project products and to establish the means by which they will be met. -8.1
