C: Can be applied to any type of project Correct answer
D: Avoids the need to involve corporate or programme management
Correct Answer:
C. Can be applied to any type of project
Explanation

A primary benefit of PRINCE2 is its universal applicability. It is a generic framework, not tied to a specific industry or technology. This allows it to be applied to any type of project, regardless of its scale, complexity, geographical location, or culture. The method is designed to be tailored to suit the specific needs of any project environment.

Why Incorrect

A. PRINCE2 is a project management method. It is specifically designed for managing the unique, temporary nature of projects, not ongoing 'business as usual' activities.
B. Tailoring involves adapting the method appropriately; it does not mean leaving out core elements like principles, which would invalidate its use as a PRINCE2 project.
D. PRINCE2 provides a clear governance structure that requires and facilitates engagement with corporate or programme management, it does not avoid it.
