Which statement best distinguishes quality planning from quality control within the quality practice?
AQuality planning refers to controlling changes to the project's scope, while quality control refers to approving the business case
BQuality planning is carried out exclusively by Corporate/Programme Management, while quality control is carried out exclusively by the Project Board
CQuality planning defines the quality methods, criteria and standards to be applied to products, while quality control is the ongoing activity of checking products against those criteria
DQuality planning takes place only during project closure, while quality control takes place only during project initiation
Show answer & explanation
C is correct. PRINCE2 7 separates quality management into two complementary activities: quality planning, which decides the required quality criteria, methods, tolerances and responsibilities up front, and quality control, which is the practical work of inspecting and testing products against those criteria throughout delivery. Neither activity is confined to a single process stage or a single management level.

A project manager is drafting a document that describes the quality standards to be applied on the project, the quality control and quality assurance procedures to be used, and the roles and responsibilities for managing quality. Which PRINCE2 7 management product is being created?
AProject product description
BCommunication management approach
CQuality management approach
DQuality register
Show answer & explanation
C is correct. The quality management approach is the management product that documents how quality will be managed throughout the project, including standards, procedures, techniques and quality responsibilities. It is distinct from the quality register (a log of activities), the project product description (defines the overall product's quality expectations), and the communication management approach (governs stakeholder communication).

3/5 · Quality practice
Which of the following is required content of a product description in PRINCE2 7 to support the quality control of that product?
AThe complete contents of the project's communication management approach
BThe full cost baseline approved for the product within the business case
CQuality criteria, quality tolerance and the quality method to be used to check the product
DA list of external organisations that intend to purchase the finished product commercially
Show answer & explanation
C is correct. Each product description defines quality-related attributes such as quality criteria, quality tolerances, quality methods and quality skills/responsibilities so that the product can be checked and approved. This information supports quality control at the product level, unlike financial, commercial or communication information which belongs elsewhere.

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.
