A question from the bank with its answer and the reasoning behind it. Every practice question comes with an explanation like this one.
Why does PRINCE2 7 treat change management as part of the people element?
- ABecause changes to project scope must be authorised by people
- BBecause a project's outputs create benefits only when people adopt new ways of working, which is a change the project must actively support(correct answer)
- CBecause the change control approach is documented by the Project Manager
- DBecause people resist change and must be managed
Why
There is a deliberate distinction here between change control, which governs changes to the project, and change management, which concerns the human transition needed for the output to become a benefit. A perfectly delivered output that nobody adopts realises nothing, which is why adoption belongs to the people element.
