Minimum Requirement for Applying the Quality Theme

B.

The Quality theme is one of the seven themes of PRINCE2, which is a project management methodology. It focuses on ensuring that the project's products meet the required quality standards. The Quality theme is applied throughout the project and is the responsibility of everyone involved in the project.

Out of the options provided, the minimum requirement for applying the Quality theme is (B) "A record must be kept of all the quality management activities that are planned." This means that there should be a documented plan that outlines all the activities related to quality management that are planned for the project.

The record should include information such as who is responsible for quality management, what activities will be carried out to ensure quality, how quality will be measured, and how any quality issues will be addressed. The record should be updated regularly throughout the project to ensure that the project remains on track to meet the required quality standards.

Option (A) "Appraisal methods of quality control must be carried out on products" is incorrect as it is a specific activity related to quality control, not a minimum requirement for applying the Quality theme.

Option (C) "The quality review technique must be used when reviewing products" is also incorrect as it is a specific technique used to review products, not a minimum requirement for applying the Quality theme.

Option (D) "The quality management approach must align with corporate standards" is also incorrect as it is a requirement for the quality management approach, not a minimum requirement for applying the Quality theme. However, it is important to ensure that the quality management approach aligns with corporate standards to ensure consistency across projects.
