PRINCE2-Foundation Exam - Question 177


To meet the minimum requirements for applying the progress theme, when must the business justification be reviewed?

Show Answer
Correct Answer: B

The business justification must be reviewed throughout each stage of the project. This ensures that the project remains viable, continues to deliver value, and is aligned with business objectives. Regularly reviewing the business case helps in identifying any deviations early and allows for corrective actions to be taken timely. This approach aligns with the principles of continuous validation and consistent checks in project management methodologies.

I was confused at first but the correct answer is D. https://www.knowledgetrain.co.uk/project-management/prince2/prince2-themes#theme-7 Minimum requirements You must define your project's approach to controlling progress in the project initiation documentation (PID). You must manage by stages, set tolerances and manage by exception against these tolerances. You must review the business justification when exceptions are raised and learn lessons throughout the project.

To meet the minimum requirements for applying the progress theme - this is the key to this tricky question. 12.2 in the prince manual states (review the business justification when exceptions are raised (PRINCE2's continued business justification principle) ) so D is the correct answer.

The correct answer is: B. Throughout each stage In PRINCE2, the progress theme ensures the project remains viable and aligned with its business justification. The business justification must be reviewed throughout each stage to confirm that the project remains desirable, viable, and achievable. This continuous review helps assess whether the project's benefits outweigh its costs and risks.

D is correct- if 'minimum' was not worded B would be correct; B. Throughout each stage: Reviews at stage boundaries are important, but the minimum requirement is to review when exceptions occur.

The correct answer is: B. Throughout each stage Explanation: According to PRINCE2, one of the minimum requirements for applying the Progress theme is to: Review the Business Justification throughout the project, typically at the end of each stage (during stage boundary assessments). This ensures that the project continues to be viable, desirable, and achievable — the core principles of a valid Business Case.
