Exam PRINCE2-Foundation topic 1 question 251 discussion

The answer should be B: The Quality Management Approach in PRINCE2 defines: The quality standards to be used Quality control and assurance methods Roles and responsibilities for quality How quality will be monitored and approved, including how the Project Board will approve management products during the 'Initiating a Project' process This includes defining review techniques and approval procedures for management products such as the Project Plan, Risk Management Approach, etc.

The correct answer is: B. Quality management approach Explanation: The Quality Management Approach in PRINCE2 defines: How the project’s products will be quality-checked and approved, including who will be involved, what standards will be applied, and how approvals (including by the project board) will be given. So, during the Initiating a Project process, this product outlines how the management products (like the Project Plan, Risk Register, etc.) should be verified and approved.

B is correct; hy the other options are less suitable: A. Communication management approach: This focuses on how the project will communicate with stakeholders, not the approval of management products. C. Project plan: The project plan outlines the overall plan for the project, but not the specific approval processes. D. Initiation stage plan: This plan focuses on the activities within the initiation stage, not the broader quality management and approval processes.

No, the Project Plan does not typically define how the Project Board should approve the management products produced during the 'initiating a project' process. Instead, the plan that defines how the Project Board should approve these management products is the Quality Management Approach. The Quality Management Approach outlines the procedures and criteria for approving management products, including those produced during the initiating stage of the project. It specifies the quality criteria, review processes, and responsibilities for approving and accepting these products. This approach ensures that the Project Board has clear guidance on how to assess and approve the quality of the project's management products, such as the Project Brief, Business Case, and Project Approach documents, produced during the initiating stage.
