A project to upgrade a hospital's patient records system is running behind schedule. The project manager has set a tolerance of 5% for schedule slippage, but the current delay is 8%. The project manager has already informed the project board. What should the project manager do next?

Ask the team managers to work overtime without informing the project board.

Revise the project plan to hide the delay and avoid escalation.

Prepare an exception report and propose options for the project board to consider.

Continue working on the project and hope the delay can be recovered in the next stage.

A pharmaceutical company is running a 3-year project to develop a new drug. The project board wants to review progress and decide whether to continue after each major phase. The project manager needs to plan the project in a way that supports this. What should the project manager do?

Plan only the first phase and then stop planning until the project is nearly complete.

Create a single detailed plan for the entire 3-year project to avoid re-planning.

Divide the project into stages aligned with the major phases and plan each stage in detail at its start.

Ask the project board to approve the entire project plan upfront so no further approvals are needed.

What is the purpose of the 'tailor to suit the project' principle in PRINCE2?

To use the same approach for all projects regardless of context

To make the project as simple as possible by removing all processes

To ensure every PRINCE2 process is followed exactly as written

To adapt PRINCE2 methods and processes to the project's environment, size, complexity, and risk
