A team member performing a scheduled quality inspection finds a minor non-conformity in a product, fixes it on the spot without telling anyone, and then updates the Quality Register entry to show the activity as 'complete, result: pass, no issues found.' Is this an appropriate way to close out the quality control activity?
ANo, because the Quality Register should accurately record what was found, the corrective action taken and the actual result, preserving an auditable trail for quality assurance and lessons learned.
BNo, because only Project Assurance is authorized to make entries in the Quality Register.
CNo, because any non-conformity found during a quality inspection must automatically trigger a formal exception report to the Project Board.
DYes, because once the fix is made the product meets its quality criteria, so recording a clean pass reflects the current state of the product.
Show answer & explanation
A is correct. The Quality Register is a management product used to track planned and actual quality activities and their outcomes, giving an auditable trail. Understating or omitting a real finding removes information the Project Manager and Project Assurance need to judge product and process quality, so honest, complete recording is required even when an issue was quickly resolved.

While drafting the Project Product Description for a new customer portal, the project team needs someone to specify the quality expectations of the end users and confirm, later, that delivered products meet those expectations. Which role should take the lead on this?
ASenior User, who is responsible for specifying the project's quality expectations from a user perspective and confirming that products meet user requirements.
BProject Assurance, who independently monitors that quality management activities are being carried out as planned.
CExecutive, who is ultimately accountable for the overall business justification of the project.
DSenior Supplier, who defines the quality methods and resources used to build the products to the agreed criteria.
Show answer & explanation
A is correct. In PRINCE2 7's Quality practice, the Senior User specifies quality expectations and acceptance criteria from the user's viewpoint and later confirms that delivered products satisfy them, distinguishing this role from Senior Supplier (build quality) and Project Assurance (independent monitoring).

At a stage boundary, the Project Manager reviews the Quality Register and finds that several products already marked 'delivered to customer' in the Product Status Account still show only planned dates for their quality inspections, with no actual dates or results recorded. What is the most appropriate interpretation and next step?
AThis indicates quality control activities may not have been adequately evidenced before handover; the Project Manager should investigate and obtain assurance the checks were actually performed before treating the stage as on track.
BThe Project Manager should immediately raise this to the Project Board as a formal off-specification without further investigation.
CThis is acceptable, because confirming products were tested before handover is the responsibility of Quality Assurance, not something reflected in the Quality Register.
DThis is normal, because planned dates are sufficient in the Quality Register; actual completion status only needs to be tracked in the Product Status Account.
Show answer & explanation
A is correct. The Quality Register should reflect actual quality control activity and results, not just what was planned. Finding delivered products with no recorded actual results is a signal that verification may be missing, and the Project Manager should investigate before confirming the stage is under control, rather than assuming it is fine or jumping straight to a formal escalation.

According to PRINCE2 7, what is the primary purpose of the Quality practice?
ATo ensure that all project risks are identified, assessed and kept within acceptable exposure levels.
BTo ensure that the project is delivered within the time and cost tolerances agreed by the Project Board.
CTo ensure that the project's products are fit for purpose and meet the agreed quality expectations of stakeholders, so that the intended benefits can be realized.
DTo ensure that the project's management team structure and reporting lines are defined and agreed at the outset.
Show answer & explanation
C is correct. PRINCE2 7 defines the Quality practice as the means by which a project defines and later delivers products that are fit for purpose, meeting the quality expectations and acceptance criteria set by key stakeholders. It is distinct from the Progress, Risk and Organizing practices, which address time/cost control, risk exposure and team structure respectively.

5/5 · Quality practice
During a formally organized quality review of a draft Business Case, one team member examines the document against its documented quality criteria and raises questions where it appears not to comply, while a second team member — who is closely associated with producing the document — answers those questions and clarifies intent. Which two quality review roles are being carried out, respectively?
AReviewer and Presenter
BQuality Assurance and Project Assurance
CApprover and Producer
DChair and Administrator
Show answer & explanation
A is correct. PRINCE2's quality review technique defines four roles: Chair (runs the review), Presenter (represents the producer and answers questions, since they know the product well), Reviewer(s) (check the product against its quality criteria and raise queries) and Administrator (provides support such as logging actions). The scenario describes a Reviewer raising queries and a Presenter responding to them.
