During a management stage, the project manager forecasts that the remaining work will exceed the stage tolerances agreed with the project board. Following PRINCE2 7 guidance on levels of plan, what should the project manager produce to cover the period to the end of the current stage (or project)?
AAn updated project plan covering only the benefits realisation period.
BA team plan detailing the remaining work packages for each team.
CA fresh stage plan for the next management stage, moved forward to start immediately.
DAn exception plan, to be approved by the next higher authority before it replaces the plan it supersedes.
Show answer & explanation
D is correct. When a stage or project plan is forecast to exceed its tolerances, PRINCE2 7 requires an exception plan to be produced at the same level, covering the remaining period, and this plan replaces the one it supersedes once approved by the next level of management.

Within the product-based planning technique, which management product is used to record a product's purpose, composition, derivation and quality criteria?
AConfiguration item record
BProduct breakdown structure
CProduct description
DProduct flow diagram
Show answer & explanation
C is correct. A product description is written for each significant product (or type of product) identified in the product breakdown structure and defines what the product is for, what it is made up of, and how its quality will be checked, which is essential input to planning and quality control.

Which statement about the project plan is correct according to PRINCE2 7?
AIt is produced by the team manager to schedule the work of a specific team.
BIt is replaced by the stage plan for the final management stage of the project.
CIt is mandatory, is developed during initiation, and gives the project board an overview statement of how and when the project's objectives are to be achieved.
DIt is optional and is only produced if the project board specifically requests a high-level overview of the work.
Show answer & explanation
C is correct. The project plan is a mandatory, project-level document produced during initiation that gives the project board the overview needed to authorise the project and make ongoing go/no-go decisions; it is updated (not replaced) as the project progresses through management stages.

Within the levels of plan described in the Plans practice, which plan is created specifically to regain control when a stage or project is forecast to exceed its agreed tolerances, and takes the place of the remaining portion of the plan it replaces?
AException plan
BStage plan
CProject plan
DTeam plan
Show answer & explanation
A is correct. PRINCE2 7 recognizes project, stage, team (optional), and exception as levels of plan. The exception plan is produced only when a forecast shows tolerance will be exceeded, and it replaces the remaining part of the plan it supersedes, requiring approval from the same authority as the original plan.

5/5 · Plans practice
During a planning workshop, a stakeholder insists that the product flow diagram for a project should display the resource allocated to each product and the calendar date each product is due, similar to a schedule. Which response best reflects the guidance on this diagram?
AThe product flow diagram must include resource names for each product but never shows dates
BThe product flow diagram is optional once a product breakdown structure exists, so its content is discretionary
CThe product flow diagram shows only the sequence in which products are to be delivered and the dependencies between them, not resources or dates
DThe product flow diagram replaces the schedule once the products have been sequenced
Show answer & explanation
C is correct. The product flow diagram is deliberately narrow in scope: it identifies products and the sequence/dependencies for delivering them. Resource allocation and dates belong to the scheduling step of the wider planning approach, so treating the flow diagram as a schedule is a common misreading.
