Which is a minimum requirement for applying the quality theme?

PRINCE2 specifies minimum requirements for applying each theme to ensure a project is genuinely being managed using PRINCE2. For the quality theme, one of the four minimum requirements is to "use lessons to inform quality planning, the definition of quality requirements, and quality control." This ensures that the project learns from previous experience to improve its quality management practices and deliverables.

B. The minimum requirement is to define a quality management approach, not necessarily use a prescribed one. The approach must be tailored to the project.
C. Using external standards is a valid approach but not a mandatory minimum requirement; quality standards can be defined internally if appropriate.
D. User stories are a technique often used in agile environments to define requirements, but their use is not a minimum requirement for the PRINCE2 quality theme.
