How does the management-by-stages technique support the progress practice in PRINCE2?

It defines the project's tolerances for time, cost, quality, scope, risk, and benefits

It provides control points at the end of each management stage for the project board to review progress and decide on continued viability

It breaks the project into work packages that are assigned to team managers

It ensures that each stage has a detailed plan before the stage starts

A project has a cost tolerance of plus or minus 10% at the project level. The current stage is forecast to exceed its stage cost tolerance, but the overall project cost is still within the project tolerance. What should the project manager do?

Use the project tolerance to absorb the stage breach without escalation

Escalate the forecast stage breach to the project board

Ask the team manager to adjust the work package

Continue the stage and monitor the project-level tolerance

In PRINCE2, what is the first action a project manager should take when a forecast indicates that a stage's tolerance will be breached?

Issue an exception report to the project board

Revise the project plan to accommodate the deviation

A project is running behind schedule. The project manager calculates that the current stage will exceed its time tolerance by two weeks. According to PRINCE2, what should the project manager do first?

Create an exception plan and implement it immediately

Issue a highlight report to inform the project board

Escalate the deviation to the project board using an exception report

Adjust the project plan to absorb the delay
