Question 1
An interviewer asks you to name the seven PRINCE2 principles and explain why they matter. Which answer correctly lists all seven? A Continued business justification, learn from experience, defined roles and responsibilities, manage by stages, manage by exception, focus on products, and tailor to suit the project environment.B Business case, organisation, quality, plans, risk, change, and progress. These seven elements form the structural core of PRINCE2 and must all be thoroughly addressed and documented in the project initiation document before the Project Board will authorise progression beyond the initiation stage.C Define scope, plan delivery, manage resources, control quality, mitigate risk, engage stakeholders, and close formally. These seven principles represent the sequential lifecycle stages that distinguish PRINCE2 from less structured project management approaches used in the private sector.D Continued business justification, stakeholder engagement, defined roles, iterative delivery, manage by exception, focus on outcomes, and continuous improvement. The framework was updated in the 2023 edition to incorporate iterative delivery and continuous improvement principles, bringing PRINCE2 closer to Agile methodologies.
