Actual exam question from PRINCE2's PRINCE2-Practitioner

Question #: 25
Topic #: 5

DIRECTING A PROJECT -
During stage 2, an external marketing company developed the ‘marketing materials’. However, the materials did not meet the corporate standards that were supplied with the contract. The marketing company has agreed to make corrections at their own cost during stage 3. There is no impact on project tolerance. Although the work planned for stage 2 has not been completed, the project manager has recommended in the end stage report that stage 2 should finish as planned. In addition, the corrective action and a further review have been planned to take place in stage 3. This will not impact the work of stage 3
Is it appropriate for the project board to agree to the recommendation without an exception plan, and why?

A. Yes, because this recommendation can be approved when the project board authorizes the stage 3 plan.
B. Yes, because the necessary corrective work has been re-planned and approved by the project manager.
C. No, because the exception process should be followed and an exception plan produced.
D. No, because stage 3 cannot start until all the planned products from stage 2 are complete.
