| Front | Back |
| Exam style question How to justify reducing documentation under exam constraints | Explain proportionality to risk highlight controls retained and show impact on governance |
| Exam style question How to present a tailored plan in a 15 minute exam answer | Show stage structure highlight key controls tolerances and trace to business case and risks |
| How do you create a Product Breakdown Structure | PBS decomposes the final product into component products and sub products |
| How do you handle an exception during a stage | Raise an exception report request decision and re plan or seek authorization |
| How do you tailor controls in PRINCE2 | Simplify or strengthen documentation reporting and checkpoint frequency to suit project complexity |
| How do you tailor governance in PRINCE2 | Adjust authority levels reporting frequency and decision points to match stakeholder needs |
| How do you tailor risk management | Change risk tolerance thresholds reporting frequency and ownership based on project exposure |
| How do you tailor roles and responsibilities | Combine split or add roles while ensuring accountability and clear delegation |
| How do you use an Issue Register | Record raise assess and track resolutions and decisions for issues |
| How does PRINCE2 support agile approaches | Tailor level of documentation controls and stage boundaries while maintaining principles |
| How is the Work Breakdown different from PBS | Work breakdown focuses on activities and tasks where PBS focuses on products |
| How to apply product based planning in a constrained exam time | Start with final product name key components and produce a simple PBS and high level plan |
| How to demonstrate continuous business justification when tailoring | Link each tailoring decision to business case impact and benefit realization |
| How to present a tailored risk response in an exam | State top risks chosen response owners and monitoring actions within tolerances |
| How to prioritize risks for attention | Rank by likelihood and impact then consider proximity and controllability |
| How to set tolerances for time cost and scope | Base tolerances on business tolerance appetite and control needs |
| How to show proportionality in exam answers | State risk based reasons list specific reductions and show retained controls and governance |
| How to tailor communication management | Adjust frequency audience format and escalation channels to stakeholder needs |
| How to tailor progress monitoring for remote teams | Use electronic checkpoint reports more frequent highlight exceptions and clarify responsibilities |
| How to tailor quality management | Adjust sampling methods frequency of checks and acceptance criteria to product risk |
| How to tailor stage boundaries | Adjust length and content of end stage assessments to complexity and decision needs |
| How to tailor team focus in supplier environments | Clarify acceptance criteria enforce quality gates and set supplier performance measures |
| How to use time boxed scenarios in exam practice | Set timer write a concise plan and justify tailoring decisions referencing principles and themes |
| List key dimensions to consider when tailoring | Project size complexity risk corporate culture and regulatory environment |
| Name two risk analysis techniques | Probability impact assessment and qualitative scoring |
| Scenario prompt High regulatory oversight What technique focus in 5 minutes | Strengthen quality assurance increase traceability enhance documentation and assign compliance owner |
| Scenario prompt New supplier joins mid project What steps in 5 minutes | Update PID revise roles update quality and risk registers and adjust stage plan |
| Scenario prompt Small internal IT project What changes to PRINCE2 should you propose | Combine roles reduce reporting formalize acceptance criteria and use lighter risk registers |
| Scenario prompt Tight deadline large scope What tailoring would you apply in 10 minutes | Prioritize minimum viable deliverables tighten stage control reduce documentation and increase stakeholder touch points |
| What are the main stages of product based planning | Identify products define product descriptions create product breakdown structure and construct a network |
| What does tailoring mean in PRINCE2 Practitioner | Adjusting PRINCE2 to project scale complexity and context while retaining the seven principles |
| What is a configuration item in PRINCE2 | Any product version or component subject to configuration management |
| What is a Lessons Log | Tool capturing learning during the project to improve current and future delivery |
| What is a Product Description | Specification of purpose quality criteria acceptance criteria and required effort for a product |
| What is a Quality Register | Tool to record quality management actions quality methods and responsible roles |
| What is a risk assessment in PRINCE2 | Identification analysis and evaluation of threats and opportunities to objectives |
| What is a Work Package | Set of related tasks delegated to a team to produce specified products within constraints |
| What is an exception in PRINCE2 | When tolerances are forecast to be exceeded that requires escalation to next management level |
| What is an issue in PRINCE2 | Any unplanned event or concern affecting project objectives that requires action |
| What is management by exception | Delegating day to day control within defined tolerances while escalating variances |
| What is management by stages | Dividing the project into manageable time bound phases for control and review |
| What is product based planning | A technique that starts with defining final products and works backwards to activities and resources |
| What is the business case role in tailoring | Use business case robustness to set reporting intensity and justification thresholds |
| What is the use of checkpoints in tailoring | Use checkpoints to provide work package progress assurance without heavy formal reporting |
| What must be preserved when tailoring PRINCE2 | The seven principles must be maintained even when controls are adjusted |
| When might you combine or shorten stages | In small low risk projects or when deliverable tempo demands rapid delivery |
| When should tailoring be applied | From project mandate through initiation and reviewed at each management stage boundary |
| When to apply exception planning | When tolerances will be exceeded or when corrective actions need higher level approval |
About the Flashcards
Flashcards for the PRINCE2 7 Practitioner exam give you a concise way to review how PRINCE2 adapts to projects of different size, complexity and regulatory demand. Cards explain what tailoring means, when to apply it, and how to adjust roles, governance, documentation and controls while always protecting the method's seven principles.
You will practice building Product Breakdown Structures, drafting product descriptions, and linking product-based plans to quality, risk and issue registers. Management by stages and by exception, setting tolerances, and handling exceptions appear alongside scenario-driven prompts that mirror the exam's timed tasks, strengthening both concept recall and application skills.
Topics covered in this flashcard deck:
- Tailoring PRINCE2 principles
- Governance, roles & controls
- Product-based planning
- Quality, risk & issues
- Management by stages & exception
