A. B. C. D.C.
In PRINCE2 methodology, lines of authority and reporting define the hierarchy of roles and responsibilities within a project, which allows for effective communication, decision-making and accountability. Let's look at each statement and evaluate if they are true or false.
Statement 1: The Project Manager has day-to-day control for a management stage within the limits laid. This statement is true. In PRINCE2, a project is divided into several management stages, each with specific goals, plans and deliverables. The Project Manager is responsible for managing each stage and has day-to-day control of the project within the limits laid down by the Project Board. The Project Manager is also accountable for delivering the stage within agreed tolerances and to the required quality standards.
Statement 2: If a Team Manager forecasts a deviation beyond Work Package tolerances, this should be referred to the Project Manager down by the Project Board. This statement is also true. A Work Package is a set of deliverables assigned to a specific team or individual within a project. The Team Manager is responsible for delivering the Work Package within agreed tolerances and to the required quality standards. If the Team Manager forecasts a deviation beyond the Work Package tolerances, they should refer this to the Project Manager, who will assess the impact on the project's overall plans and take corrective action if necessary. The Project Manager may escalate the issue to the Project Board if it is significant enough to impact the project's overall objectives.
Therefore, the correct answer to the question is C. Both 1 and 2 are true. The Project Manager has day-to-day control for a management stage within the limits laid, and if a Team Manager forecasts a deviation beyond Work Package tolerances, this should be referred to the Project Manager down by the Project Board.
