Reveal correct answer

Correct answer: A

Explanation

OBJ 2.1: Understanding delegated authority and established tolerances is a benefit of applying the manage by exception principle. A PRINCE2 project has defined tolerances for each project objective, to establish limits of delegated authority. PRINCE2 enables appropriate governance by defining distinct responsibilities for directing, managing, and delivering the project and clearly defining accountability at each level. This implementation of manage by exception provides for very efficient use of senior management time as it reduces senior managers’ time burden without removing their control by ensuring decisions are made at the right level in the organization.
