1/5 · Fix and Flex — the Hexagon · easy
According to PRINCE2 Agile's default fix-and-flex recommendation, which two of the six hexagon aspects should normally be fixed rather than flexed?
AScope and Quality
BQuality and Risk
CTime and Cost
DBenefits and Risk
Show answer & explanation
C is correct. PRINCE2 Agile's core doctrine is to fix time and cost through timeboxing and agreed budgets, giving the delivery team a stable, predictable envelope. Scope and quality are then flexed within tolerances, typically prioritised with MoSCoW, to absorb the uncertainty inherent in agile delivery.

A Project Board is setting tolerances for a project that will use agile ways of working at delivery level. Which combination best reflects PRINCE2 Agile's recommended approach to tolerances across the hexagon?
AZero tolerance on all six aspects to guarantee complete predictability
BZero or very narrow time and cost tolerance, wider scope tolerance, with quality tolerance limited to flexing above an agreed minimum
CWide time and cost tolerance, with zero tolerance on scope and quality
DWide tolerance on benefits only, with every other aspect fixed at zero tolerance
Show answer & explanation
B is correct. PRINCE2 Agile recommends holding time and cost with little or no tolerance, since these are fixed by design, while giving scope wider tolerance so it can be flexed using MoSCoW. Quality tolerance is deliberately limited so that only delivery above the agreed minimum criteria can flex, protecting acceptable outcomes.

Which statement about tolerance on the benefits aspect of the hexagon in an agile context is most accurate?
ABenefits tolerance cannot be set because agile projects do not maintain a Business Case
BBenefits tolerance replaces the need for time and cost tolerances in agile projects
CBenefits tolerance is always fixed at zero because benefits are only realised after project closure
DBenefits tolerance is set by the Project Board and can be protected by prioritising delivery of the highest-value features first via MoSCoW
Show answer & explanation
D is correct. Like the other hexagon aspects, benefits can have a tolerance set by the Project Board. Prioritising the delivery of the highest-value requirements first, using MoSCoW, is one practical way agile teams help protect expected benefits even as lower-priority scope flexes.

4/5 · Fix and Flex — the Hexagon
A delivery team is two days from the end of a fixed release time-box. It becomes clear that not everything originally planned can be finished without extending the time-box or increasing the budget. The requirements were previously prioritized with MoSCoW. What does PRINCE2 Agile recommend the team do?
ADeliver everything as originally planned by reducing the testing and quality checks applied to the 'must have' items
BReduce or drop the lowest-priority 'could have' items and, if still necessary, some 'should have' items, while ensuring all 'must have' requirements are still delivered to the agreed quality
CAsk the project board to extend the time-box slightly and increase the budget to cover the remaining work
DImmediately raise a formal exception to the project board, since any change to planned scope always requires re-baselining the project
Show answer & explanation
B is correct. MoSCoW gives the team a pre-agreed order in which to flex scope: 'won't have' and 'could have' items are dropped first, then 'should have' items if needed, so that time and cost stay fixed and all 'must have' requirements are still delivered. This protects the fixed aspects of the hexagon without requiring escalation for routine descoping.

5/5 · Fix and Flex — the Hexagon
Which technique does PRINCE2 Agile pair with the Hexagon so that scope can be flexed in a controlled way while time and cost remain fixed?
AA RACI matrix
BMoSCoW prioritization (Must Have, Should Have, Could Have, Won't Have this time)
CEarned value management
DThe Kano model of customer satisfaction
Show answer & explanation
B is correct. MoSCoW gives the team and Project Board a shared, transparent ranking of requirements, so that when time or cost pressure appears, Won't Haves and then Could Haves are the first candidates deferred, protecting the fixed targets and the Must Have quality criteria.
