1/10 · Key concepts of projects and PRINCE2
A newly appointed sponsor asks for a concise definition of the term 'project' as used in PRINCE2 7. Which of the following best reflects the official PRINCE2 definition?
AA permanent organizational structure responsible for ongoing business-as-usual operations and continuous value delivery.
BA collection of related projects and change activities that are coordinated together to achieve strategic benefits.
CA temporary organization that is created for the purpose of delivering one or more business products according to an agreed business case.
DA structured set of practices and processes used to assure the quality of products throughout the organization's portfolio.
Show answer & explanation
C is correct. PRINCE2 7 defines a project as a temporary organization created to deliver one or more business products in line with an agreed business case. The temporary, purpose-driven nature distinguishes a project from ongoing operations (business-as-usual) and from broader constructs like programmes.

2/10 · The PRINCE2 principles
Six months into a project, market conditions change such that the forecast costs now exceed the forecast benefits, and no other viable business case can be identified. According to PRINCE2's principle of continued business justification, what should happen?
AThe project should switch to being managed without a Business Case, since none of the original justification remains valid
BThe Project Manager should quietly extend the timeline until benefits recover, without informing the Project Board
CThe project should be stopped, since it no longer offers a justifiable reason to continue
DThe project should continue to completion, because significant investment has already been made
Show answer & explanation
C is correct. PRINCE2 requires a project to have continued business justification throughout its life, checked at each stage boundary and whenever circumstances change. If a project can no longer be justified, the appropriate response is to stop it rather than continue on sunk-cost reasoning or conceal the issue.

3/10 · People in successful projects
PRINCE2 7th edition introduced a completely new component of guidance that sits alongside the principles, the practices and the processes. Which of the following is this new component?
AGovernance
BPeople
CThemes
DTailoring
Show answer & explanation
B is correct. PRINCE2 7 (2023) restructured the method to add a dedicated People component, none of which had a specific home in the 6th edition. Themes were renamed practices and tailoring guidance continued unchanged, so neither of those is new.

4/10 · Business Case practice
According to the PRINCE2 7th edition, what is the primary purpose of the Business Case practice?
ATo ensure that the project's specialist products meet the quality criteria required to satisfy stakeholder expectations.
BTo provide a mechanism to identify, assess and control uncertainty that could affect the project's objectives.
CTo establish mechanisms to judge whether the project is, and remains, desirable, viable and achievable, supporting decisions on its continued investment.
DTo define the project management team structure and the roles and responsibilities of everyone involved in delivering the project's products.
Show answer & explanation
C is correct. The Business Case practice exists to give the project board and other decision-makers a consistent mechanism for judging whether a project remains desirable, viable and achievable, in line with the continued business justification principle. The other options describe the purposes of the Organizing, Quality and Risk practices respectively.
↗ the official PRINCE2 7 Foundation syllabus + PRINCE2 7th edition manual 'Managing Successful Projects' (PeopleCert, 2023) — Business Case practice
5/10 · Organizing practice
According to PRINCE2 7, what is the purpose of the organizing practice?
ATo confirm whether the project remains desirable, viable and achievable throughout its life
BTo provide a structured approach for identifying, assessing, planning and monitoring responses to threats and opportunities
CTo define and establish the project's structure of accountability and responsibility, answering the question of who is involved in the project and what is expected of them
DTo establish mechanisms for monitoring actual achievements against planned targets and forecasting the project's objectives
Show answer & explanation
C is correct. The organizing practice exists to create clarity about who does what on a project — its structure of accountability and responsibility. This is distinct from the business case practice (justification), risk practice (uncertainty) and progress practice (monitoring), which each answer different questions.
↗ the official PRINCE2 7 Foundation syllabus + PRINCE2 7th edition manual 'Managing Successful Projects' (PeopleCert, 2023) — Organizing practice
6/10 · Plans practice
According to PRINCE2 7, what is the primary purpose of the plans practice?
ATo establish the business justification for the project and ensure it remains desirable, viable and achievable throughout.
BTo define the organisational hierarchy and reporting lines needed to govern the project.
CTo identify, assess and control threats and opportunities that could affect the project's objectives.
DTo facilitate communication and control by defining the means of delivering the products that will help enable the project's outcomes and benefits, and to provide a baseline for tracking progress.
Show answer & explanation
D is correct. The plans practice exists to give the project a defined, communicable route to delivering its products and to create a baseline against which progress and performance can be measured and controlled. This is distinct from justifying the project (business case) or managing organisation and risk, which are separate practices in PRINCE2 7.

7/10 · Quality practice
According to PRINCE2 7th edition, what is the primary purpose of the quality practice?
ATo ensure that the project's products meet the business expectations necessary to achieve the desired outcomes and benefits
BTo ensure that the project is completed within the approved time and cost tolerances
CTo ensure that every issue raised during the project is logged and resolved through change control
DTo ensure that all project risks are identified and mitigated before the project closes
Show answer & explanation
A is correct. The quality practice's purpose is to enable the project to focus on defining, documenting and verifying what quality means for its products, so that they meet business expectations and support the benefits set out in the business case. Time/cost control, risk, and issue handling are the concerns of the progress, risk and issues practices respectively.
↗ the official PRINCE2 7 Foundation syllabus + PRINCE2 7th edition manual 'Managing Successful Projects' (PeopleCert, 2023) — Quality practice
8/10 · Risk practice
According to PRINCE2 7, what is the primary purpose of the risk practice?
ATo record every issue that arises during the project so that lessons can be captured for future projects.
BTo eliminate all risk from the project before work begins, ensuring a completely risk-free delivery environment.
CTo identify and manage threats and opportunities within the project and its wider context, so that risk exposure is understood and responded to appropriately.
DTo transfer all financial risk to third-party suppliers through contractual clauses.
Show answer & explanation
C is correct. The risk practice exists to identify and manage both threats and opportunities affecting the project, enabling the project team to respond proactively rather than reactively. It applies throughout the project lifecycle and covers the project's context as well as its internal activities.

9/10 · The PRINCE2 principles · hard
Consistent with the 'tailor to suit the project' principle, which statement correctly describes tailoring in PRINCE2 7th edition?
AThe Project Manager is responsible for tailoring PRINCE2 based on factors such as the project's scale, complexity, importance, capability and risk, and records the tailoring decisions in the Project Initiation Documentation for approval by the Project Board
BTailoring means selectively applying only some of the seven principles, choosing whichever are convenient for the project's culture
CSince PRINCE2 6th edition already tailors the seven themes for every project type, no additional tailoring is required in the 7th edition
DTailoring is only necessary when a project intends to use agile ways of working; traditional projects should apply PRINCE2 exactly as described in the manual with no adjustment
Show answer & explanation
A is correct. PRINCE2 requires its practices, processes and management products to be tailored to the project's context (scale, complexity, importance, capability, risk, and similar factors), while the seven principles themselves are always applied in full. The Project Manager typically proposes the tailoring, documenting it in the Project Initiation Documentation for the Project Board's approval.

10/10 · Key concepts of projects and PRINCE2 · hard
A construction project must build a bridge according to a fully detailed engineering design agreed before work starts. Site preparation, foundation work, structural assembly and finishing are carried out one after another, each stage completed and signed off before the next begins, with no intention to revisit earlier stages once complete. According to PRINCE2 7, which delivery approach is this project using?
ALinear-sequential
BIterative-incremental
CContinuous
DHybrid
Show answer & explanation
A is correct. PRINCE2 7 recognizes that a project's delivery approach can be linear-sequential, iterative-incremental, or a hybrid combining both. A project executed strictly stage-by-stage against a fixed upfront design, without revisiting completed work, exemplifies the linear-sequential approach, distinct from iterative-incremental methods that rely on feedback and rework across repeated cycles.

PRINCE2 Foundation vs Practitioner: What Changes, What It Costs, Who Needs Which PRINCE2 Foundation (60 questions, closed book) vs Practitioner (scenarios, open book), both at 60% to pass. What each bundle costs and who needs which.

PRINCE2 7 Found. practice — FAQ

How hard is the PRINCE2 7 Found. exam?

Foundation tests only recall and understanding (Bloom's 1–2), but the 7th edition raised the pass mark to 60% (36/60) and shifted weight — practices plus the new people element carry 74% of marks — so candidates studying from 6th-edition materials get caught out.

PRINCE2 7 Found. vs PMP or CAPM — which should I choose?

PRINCE2 is a structured, process-based method dominant in the UK, Europe and government projects; PMI's PMP/CAPM is a broader framework dominant in the US. CAPM is the closest entry-level peer, and the two schemes are complementary — many practitioners hold both.

What's the difference between PRINCE2 7 Found. and Practitioner?

Foundation (60 closed-book questions, 60 minutes, 36/60 to pass) checks you can recall and understand the method. Practitioner (70 questions, 2h30m, open-book) checks you can apply and tailor it to a scenario — and requires Foundation first.

How many questions is the PRINCE2 7 Found. exam and how long is it?

60 multiple-choice questions (standard, missing-word, list and negative styles), 1 mark each, no negative marking, closed book, in 60 minutes (75 minutes for candidates sitting the exam in a non-native language).

What is the passing score for PRINCE2 7 Found.?

The passing score is 60% — 36 out of 60 marks (raised from 55% under the 6th edition). Aim for a consistent 80–85% on realistic practice exams before booking.

What is the PRINCE2 7 Found. pass rate?

PeopleCert does not publish official pass rates, so any exact percentage quoted online is unverified. The readiness signal that actually predicts passing: consistently holding 80–85% on realistic, full-length practice exams before you book.

What are the PRINCE2 7 Found. eligibility requirements?

No formal prerequisites — open to anyone. Typical candidates: project managers, aspiring PMs, project board members, team managers and project support staff.

How much does PRINCE2 7 Found. cost?

PeopleCert lists three EUR bundles (VAT included): Exam Bundle €645 (official eBook, exam voucher, Learning Resource Kit), eLearning €1,349, eLearning+ €1,596 (adds a free retake and the official mock exam) - verified 12 Sep 2026. Exam-only vouchers via resellers commonly run ~$300-450, and the Take2 resit add-on is far cheaper than a standalone retake. Prices vary by country - verify on peoplecert.org.

How long should I study for PRINCE2 7 Found.?

For most candidates, commonly reported 30–45 hours depending on prior project-management experience. What matters most is practising questions and analysing why each option is right or wrong — not just reading.

Does the PRINCE2 7 Found. certification need recertification?

PeopleCert renewal every 3 years — 60 CPD points or another exam from the PRINCE2 suite (verify current rules).

Are ExamDeck's PRINCE2 7 Found. questions exam dumps?

No — every question is original, written to test the concepts and reviewed before it ships, with an explanation linked to the source for every option. Dumps are stale, often wrong, and against PeopleCert's policies.
