Pass Prince2-Foundation Exam Guide

Effective issue and change control within a PRINCE2® project relies heavily on a configuration management system. This system tracks all items of the project, including their versions and changes, allowing for controlled changes and ensuring that all items are identified, accounted for, and monitored throughout the project.

In PRINCE2, a project is defined as a temporary organization that is set up to deliver one or more business products according to an agreed Business Case. The temporary nature of projects highlights their finite and unique aspects, distinguishing them from regular, ongoing operations. References: PRINCE2 Foundation manual, PRINCE2 official resources

The purpose of the Directing a Project process in PRINCE2 is to enable the Project Board to exercise overall control over the project while delegating day-to-day management of the project stages to the Project Manager. This ensures that the Project Board can make key decisions and remain accountable for the project's success while not being involved in the lower-level, day-to-day activities.

The principle of continued business justification in PRINCE2 means that a project must remain justified throughout its life cycle. The key factor is the project's ongoing justification, not solely its ability to deliver financial benefits. Projects may continue for reasons other than financial gain, such as strategic importance, compliance, or public safety. Therefore, stopping a project based only on financial criteria does not reflect this principle accurately. References: PRINCE2 Foundation manual, PRINCE2 official resources
