PRINCE2-Foundation Exam - Question 117


Which activity takes place within the Managing a Stage Boundary process?

Show Answer
Correct Answer: C

Producing an Exception Plan occurs within the Managing a Stage Boundary process. This process is concerned with the evaluation of the current stage and planning for the next stage, which includes creating an Exception Plan if the project deviates beyond acceptable tolerance levels. Other activities like authorizing a Stage Plan for the next stage are not part of Managing a Stage Boundary but rather fall under the process of Directing a Project.

To me it seems two possibilities are correct: c AND d, because among the objectives of the 'Managing a Stage Boundary' are: 'request authorization to start the next management stage' and: 'prepare an exception plan as directed by the project board'. BUT: the list of activities in paragraph 19.4 shows: The activities within the managing a stage boundary process are project manager oriented and are to: ● plan the next management stage ● update the project plan ● update the business case ● report management stage end ● produce an exception plan.

In Manage a Stage Limit there is no authorization action, the Project Manager creates the information for the Project Board that authorizes in Directing a Project

C is correct, The exception plan is prepared in SB and submitted to the Project Board for approval in the same way as a stage plan.
