What is a purpose of the 'project closure' workshop?
C
Explanation:
The project closure workshop is held to formally close the project, during which project
documentation is updated to reflect the final state of the project, lessons learned are captured, and
approvals are obtained. This ensures that all activities are completed, the project has delivered its
intended products, and knowledge is retained for future projects or organizational learning.
Aligning teams (A) and refining release maps (D) are activities conducted earlier in the lifecycle,
while benefits management (B) is usually defined during initiation and planning stages.

Study Guide, Chapter 9.
In which workshop are the project role descriptions created?
A
Explanation:
The starting-up workshop is the initial workshop where the foundation for the project is established,
including the creation and clarification of project role descriptions. Defining roles early ensures
clarity of responsibilities, helps establish governance, and sets expectations for the project team.
Kickoff (B) focuses on launching the project, initiation (C) develops detailed plans, and the project
canvas (D) is a tool for capturing high-level information but does not define roles explicitly.

Agile Study Guide, Chapter 4.
Which of the following is used to monitor progress?
D
Explanation:
The burn-down chart is a visual tool used in agile to monitor progress by tracking the remaining work
against time. It provides teams and stakeholders with a clear, real-time view of project status and
forecast completion, allowing for early identification of potential delays or bottlenecks.
The delegation matrix (A) defines authority, swarming (B) is a team collaboration technique, and t-
shirt sizing (C) is an estimation method, none of which directly monitor progress.
Reference: PRINCE2 Agile Foundation Version 2, Section 7.1 "Progress Practice," and PRINCE2 Agile
Study Guide, Chapter 7.
Which of the following uses a flow-based approach to control work in progress?
C
Explanation:
Kanban uses a flow-based approach to visualize and control work in progress (WIP). It emphasizes
limiting WIP to improve flow and reduce bottlenecks, with continuous monitoring via Kanban boards.
This approach supports flexibility, transparency, and efficiency in managing tasks.
The Agilometer (A) measures agility, Lean (B) is a broad philosophy focusing on waste reduction, and
Scrum (D) is an iterative framework but uses time-boxed sprints rather than flow-based control.
Reference: PRINCE2 Agile Foundation Version 2, Section 5.5 "Agile Techniques," and PRINCE2 Agile
Study Guide, Chapter 5.
In which step of the risk management technique do teams consider probability and impact of a risk?
B
Explanation:
The assess step involves evaluating the probability and impact of identified risks to determine their
severity and prioritize them for management. This step is crucial for effective risk control and helps
allocate resources appropriately.
Planning relates to defining how to manage risks, identification involves discovering risks, and
implementation concerns applying risk responses.
Reference: PRINCE2 Agile Foundation Version 2, Section 8.3 "Risk Management," and PRINCE2 Agile
Study Guide, Chapter 8.
What is the purpose of the ‘agile enablement’ workshop?
B
Explanation:
The Agile Enablement Workshop is specifically designed to support the transition of teams and
organizations into agile ways of working. Its primary purpose is to identify, assess, and plan for risks
related to agile adoption. This includes challenges like cultural resistance, skills gaps, tooling needs,
and process adaptations. The workshop ensures that these risks are proactively managed to smooth
the agile transformation and increase the chances of successful agile delivery.
By focusing on agile adoption risks rather than project delivery or business as usual, the workshop
addresses the foundational changes required for agility at team and organizational levels. Effective
enablement workshops facilitate buy-in, identify training needs, and help tailor agile frameworks to
the organization's context.

Study Guide, Chapter 4.
In which step of the approach to issue management are options to resolve an issue evaluated?
D
Explanation:
The Recommend step in issue management involves analyzing the issue and evaluating possible
options to resolve it. At this stage, the project team or responsible individuals identify potential
solutions, weigh their pros and cons, and recommend the best course of action to decision-makers.
Capture is the initial identification and recording of the issue, Decide involves making the final
decision on the recommended solution, and Implement is the execution of the chosen resolution.
Evaluating options thoroughly during the Recommend phase helps ensure informed decision-making
and effective issue resolution.
This structured approach aligns with PRINCE2’s focus on proactive issue management, maintaining
control and reducing risk impacts.
Reference: PRINCE2 Agile Foundation Version 2, Section 8.4 "Issue Management," and PRINCE2 Agile
Study Guide, Chapter 8.
Which workshop is used to assess the project’s status and address any challenges?
D
Explanation:
The Progress Review Workshop is the key forum to assess the current status of the project and
address challenges or issues affecting progress. It typically involves reviewing the current stage or
release against plan, assessing risks, issues, and dependencies, and agreeing on corrective actions or
decisions to keep the project on track.
While retrospectives (B and C) focus on reflecting and improving team practices, and team planning
(A) looks ahead to upcoming work, progress reviews are focused on monitoring, control, and
decision-making at the project or stage level.
This workshop aligns with PRINCE2’s principle of manage by exception, enabling timely interventions
without unnecessary escalation.
Reference: PRINCE2 Agile Foundation Version 2, Section 6.6 "Progress Review," and PRINCE2 Agile
Study Guide, Chapter 7.
What describes essential aspects of project management that must be applied consistently and
throughout the project lifecycle?
B
Explanation:
The PRINCE2 practices represent the essential aspects of project management that must be applied
consistently from start to finish in every project. These practices cover key areas such as managing
risks, issues, quality, plans, progress, and change. They provide structured guidance and tools to
ensure the project remains viable, controlled, and aligned with business objectives.
While processes define the stages and flow of activities, and the people element refers to roles and
skills, practices are the ongoing activities and controls embedded throughout the project lifecycle.
The project context shapes how practices and processes are tailored but does not itself define the
consistent elements.
This consistent application of practices supports governance, transparency, and control, critical for
successful project outcomes.
Reference: PRINCE2 Agile Foundation Version 2, Section 3.2 "The PRINCE2 Practices," and PRINCE2
Agile Study Guide, Chapter 3.
Which of the following defines agility?
B
Explanation:
Agility is defined as the ability to embrace and respond to change quickly and effectively. It is a core
principle of agile methods, enabling organizations and teams to adapt to evolving business needs,
customer feedback, and external factors while delivering value continuously.
This definition contrasts with traditional change control, which often aims to prevent changes (C).
Agility promotes flexibility, learning, and continuous improvement, but the belief that anyone is
capable of learning (D), while important, is a cultural aspect rather than a direct definition of agility.
The sequence of actions (A) relates more to processes than agility itself.
Understanding agility as the capacity to adapt ensures project approaches remain relevant in
dynamic environments.

Study Guide, Chapter 2.
