Exam PRINCE2-Foundation topic 1 question 338 discussion

The "controlling a stage" process would be used most appropriately during the "directing a project" process (option B) as it involves actively monitoring progress within a specific project stage, identifying issues, and taking corrective actions to ensure the stage stays within tolerances.

Conflicted, chatGPT & Gemini giving diffrent answers.

I would say C is correct "The Controlling a Stage Process may be used during the Initiation Stage, especially for large or complex projects".

B. During the 'directing a project' process The "controlling a stage" process in PRINCE2 is used during the "directing a project" process. The purpose of the "controlling a stage" process is to monitor and control the work of a stage to ensure that it progresses according to the stage plan and objectives. The project manager, under the direction of the project board (directing a project), uses this process to manage the activities within a stage effectively.

Closing a project is not a management stage. Initiation of a project is a management stage in Prince2 framework. For large and complex projects, Controlling a stage' process is used during 'Initiating a stage'. I think the correct answer is therefore Option C

If you check Figure 13.2 then it gives an answer: the question is wrong. It can be used in Initiation and closure too.

Correct answer is C. Section 17.3: The Controlling a Stage Process may be used during the Initiation Stage, especially for large or complex projects.

For this question - either the question is given wrong, or the answer is wrong. If the question is given correctly, then my answer would be during Directing A Project Process as : Reference Prince 2 - 17.3 This process will be used for each delivery stage of a project. Starting up a closing a project process, starting up a project process and initiating a project process are not exactly delivery processes to my understanding, so I would go with B. During the "Directing a project process" but I am not completely sure. Please provide some input
