During project start-up, which management product captures the customer's quality expectations together with the prioritized acceptance criteria that the finished project product must satisfy before the customer will accept it?
AThe quality management approach, because it defines every acceptance criterion the project will use
BThe Project Product Description, because it records the customer's quality expectations and the acceptance criteria for the overall project product
CThe quality register, because it lists the acceptance criteria alongside the results of each quality check
DA product description, because every product description defines the acceptance criteria for the whole project
Show answer & explanation
B is correct. PRINCE2 7 requires the Project Product Description to be drafted during start-up to capture the customer's quality expectations and the prioritized acceptance criteria used to judge the finished project product. The quality management approach instead sets out how quality will be planned and controlled, and the quality register tracks the activities that check quality, not the expectations themselves.

5/5 · Quality practice
A team member argues that quality assurance and project assurance are simply two names for the same oversight activity carried out by the same people. Which statement most accurately corrects this misunderstanding?
AThe two terms are interchangeable, since the project board delegates both roles to the same individual to save resources
BQuality assurance is an independent check, typically from outside the project, that it is complying with relevant standards and its quality management approach; project assurance monitors all aspects of the project's performance on behalf of the project board
CQuality assurance is performed exclusively by the project manager, while project assurance is performed exclusively by the team manager
DProject assurance only checks individual products against their quality criteria, while quality assurance monitors the continuing validity of the business case
Show answer & explanation
B is correct. A recurring Foundation misconception is treating quality assurance as identical to project assurance. PRINCE2 7 keeps them distinct: quality assurance is an independent, typically external check on compliance with standards and the quality management approach, while project assurance is the project board's own monitoring of the project on its behalf, covering business, user and specialist interests.
