Exam PRINCE2-Practitioner topic 1 question 9 discussion

Actual exam question from PRINCE2's PRINCE2-Practitioner Edition 6
Question #: 9
Topic #: 1
[All PRINCE2-Practitioner Edition 6 Questions]

During stage 3, the project scope was extended to include a practice test for learners to take during the training course. The cost of this test will be included in the cost of the course.
The change to project scope was approved and the cost of ֲ£2,500 was paid for from the change budget. The project manager documented an increase of ֲ£2,500 in the project budget in the business case.
Is this an appropriate action, and why?

  • A. Yes, because the justification for the project should be recalculated based on the revised project budget.
  • B. Yes, because the project manager determines which costs need to be updated at the end of each stage
  • C. No, because the use of the change budget means that the project budget does not need to be increased.
  • D. No, because changes to operational costs post-project should have been included in the business case.

The change budget is specifically set aside for unforeseen changes that might occur during the project. When a change is approved and paid for from the change budget, it does not necessitate an increase in the project budget. The project budget is typically a forecast of the costs associated with the planned scope of the project, while the change budget is a reserve for unplanned changes.

I think it should be option B as the project manager need to update the business case with updated cost at the end of each management stages. And I believe the change budget is part of the project budget!

Sorry now get it, the primary project budget includes change budget, so the project budget remain unchanged.

Selected Answer: C
Answer C (Unpopular objective answer/open for discussion) Ref. 9.3.1.5 "The budget should include: Cost of activities; Risk budget; Change budget; Cost tolerance" Ref. 11.3.6 " Including a change budget provides for a more realistic expectation of the overall costs/timeframe of the project."
