Exam PRINCE2-Practitioner topic 8 question 1 discussion

In structured project management frameworks like PRINCE2, the Project Board is responsible for the overall direction and management of the project within the set tolerances. If tolerances are threatened, it indicates a significant deviation that may affect the project's objectives, and this requires the attention and decision-making authority of the Project Board. The Project Board can then decide on the necessary corrective actions or escalate the issue further if needed. Options B (Project Manager) and D (Executive) are not correct because, while the Project Manager is responsible for day-to-day management and the Executive is a key member of the Project Board, it is the Project Board as a whole that needs to be informed and take action on tolerance breaches. Option C (Corporate or Programme Management) is also not the immediate next step unless the Project Board decides to escalate the issue further.

A) as per 12.2.1 => if any forecast indicate that the project is likely to exceed the agreed project tolerances, then the deviation should be referred to corporate, programme management or the customer _by the project board_... so the first one to be notified is the Project Board...

It is C (12.2.1)
