A key stakeholder emails the Project Manager asking for an extra summary report to be produced, which was not included in the original Project Product Description. No delivered product is currently failing to meet its specification. Which type of issue should this be logged as?
AOff-specification, because a product is missing from the scope.
BRisk, because it is uncertain whether the report will be approved.
CRequest for Change, because it is a proposal to alter a baselined product or scope.
DProblem/concern, since stakeholder requests are informal by nature.

A Project Board has delegated authority for approving Requests for Change to a designated Change Authority, along with an agreed change budget of $5,000 per change. A submitted Request for Change is estimated to cost $2,000. The Change Authority approves it directly, without referring it to the Project Board. Is this action appropriate?
ANo, because only the Project Manager may ever approve a Request for Change, regardless of any delegation.
BNo, because every Request for Change must always be escalated to the Project Board irrespective of any delegated authority or budget.
CYes, because the request's cost falls within the delegated change budget, so the Change Authority can decide without further Project Board involvement.
DYes, but only because the Executive happens to personally chair the Change Authority in this project.

A Team Manager identifies a technical problem with a work package that will cause it to exceed the tolerance set for that work package, but the impact is expected to stay within the overall stage tolerances that the Project Board has set for the Project Manager. What is the correct escalation path?
AThe Team Manager should raise the issue to the Project Manager, who can manage it within their own delegated stage tolerance without needing to escalate to the Project Board.
BThe Team Manager should resolve the issue independently, since the overall stage tolerance is unaffected.
CThe Team Manager should raise an Exception Report directly to the Project Board, bypassing the Project Manager.
DThe Team Manager should record it only in a private log and take no further action, since Project Board tolerance is unaffected.

During integration testing, a project team discovers that a fully baselined deliverable falls slightly short of one agreed acceptance criterion. The project board reviews the impact, judges it negligible, and formally agrees to accept the deliverable exactly as built, with no further corrective work planned or scheduled. Which PRINCE2 7 term specifically captures this particular board decision?
AOff-specification
BConcession
CRequest for change
DException report
Show answer & explanation
B is correct. PRINCE2 7 distinguishes the raw issue type (off-specification) from the decision taken about it. When the project board or change authority chooses to accept a deviation without corrective action, that decision is specifically termed a concession — a subtly different concept from off-specification, request for change, or exception report.

5/5 · Issues practice · easy
PRINCE2 7 categorises every formally captured issue into one of three types to help decide how it should be handled. Which of the following is NOT one of these three issue types?
ARequest for change
BRisk
CProblem/concern
DOff-specification
Show answer & explanation
B is correct. PRINCE2 7's issue and change control procedure classifies formally managed issues as a request for change, an off-specification, or a general problem/concern. Risks are a related but distinct concept addressed through the risk practice's own register and assessment techniques, so they do not belong to the issue typology despite the surface similarity in handling.
