Full set: 478 questions

Answer options

A: Specify in the change control approach the means by which project products will be protected

B: Document the format and contents of the issue register Correct answer

C: Produce issue reports to document the impact assessment for requests for change

D: Delegate the change authority to the senior supplier(s) for supplier off-specifications

Correct Answer:

B. Document the format and contents of the issue register

Explanation

The PRINCE2 methodology specifies minimum requirements for applying each theme to ensure a project is genuinely being managed using PRINCE2. For the 'change' theme, one of these minimum requirements is to define the project's approach to issue management. This definition must include establishing an issue management procedure and specifying the format and contents of the issue register. This ensures that all issues are captured, assessed, and managed in a consistent and controlled manner throughout the project lifecycle.

Why Incorrect

A. Protecting products is part of configuration management, but the minimum requirement is to define the approach, not specify every detail within it.
C. Producing issue reports is an activity within the defined procedure, but the minimum requirement is to define the procedure itself, not mandate every output.
D. Delegating change authority is an option that can be configured within the change control approach; it is not a mandatory minimum requirement.
