Two departments each provide critical specialist resources to a project. The commissioning organization wants a representative from each department to jointly hold accountability for supplier interests on the Project Board, rather than appointing a single supplier representative. Which statement about PRINCE2 7 roles applies to this arrangement?
AIt is not permitted, because PRINCE2 7 requires every Project Board role, including Senior Supplier, to be held by exactly one individual at all times.
BIt is permitted, because a role such as Senior Supplier can be shared between more than one person, whereas the Executive role must always remain a single individual.
CIt is permitted only if a Change Authority is appointed specifically to arbitrate between the two Senior Suppliers on every supplier-related decision.
DIt is not permitted unless both representatives are also formally appointed as joint Executives, so that ultimate accountability is spread equally between the two departments.
Show answer & explanation
B is correct. PRINCE2 7 distinguishes between roles and the individuals who hold them: a single role can be shared by several people (for example, multiple Senior Suppliers representing different supplying departments) and, conversely, one person can hold more than one role. The only fixed constraint is that the Executive role must always be a single, named individual to preserve clear, ultimate accountability for the project.
