When might the 'controlling a stage' process be used?
The 'controlling a stage' process is used during the 'directing a project' process to monitor and control the work of a stage. This ensures that the stage progresses according to the stage plan and objectives. The project manager, under the direction of the project board, utilizes this process to manage the activities within a stage effectively.
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
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.
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
