Correct Answer: Project Manager

In PRINCE2, the Project Manager is the role responsible for day-to-day management of the project on behalf of the Project Board. The Project Manager runs the project on a day-to-day basis, managing team activities, planning, monitoring, and controlling the work being done. They are accountable to the Project Board for project success.

Team Manager is incorrect because this role is responsible for managing a specific team or work package, not the entire project. They report to the Project Manager.

Executive is incorrect because the Executive is a member of the Project Board who represents business interests and is the ultimate decision maker, but does not handle day-to-day management.

Senior User is incorrect because this role represents those who will use the project's products. While they are part of the Project Board and provide requirements, they do not manage daily project activities.

Correct Answer: To provide administrative and specialist tool support to the Project Manager as a flexible resource.

The correct answer is "To provide administrative and specialist tool support to the Project Manager as a flexible resource." In PRINCE2, Project Support is specifically defined as a role that provides administrative assistance and specialist tools support to the Project Manager. It is characterized as a flexible resource that adapts to the project's needs, helping with various administrative tasks such as maintaining project records, setting up documentation systems, and assisting with project controls. The other options are incorrect because: - Making key decisions regarding change requests is typically a responsibility of the Change Authority or Project Board, not Project Support. - Acting as a communication channel between the Project Board and Team Managers is the Project Manager's role. Project Support assists the Project Manager but does not assume this communication responsibility. - Performing quality checks on project products falls under the responsibilities of Project Assurance or quality roles, not Project Support. While Project Support may help with quality-related documentation, conducting actual quality checks is not its primary function.

Correct Answer: Executive, Senior User, and Senior Supplier

In PRINCE2, the Project Board requires at a minimum three roles: Executive, Senior User, and Senior Supplier. The Executive is accountable for the project and represents business interests. The Senior User represents those who will use the project's outputs. The Senior Supplier represents those providing the resources and expertise. The other options are incorrect because: Project Manager reports to the Project Board but is not a member of it. Team Managers work under the Project Manager's direction. Project Assurance is a function that can be delegated by Project Board members. Change Authority is appointed by the Project Board but is not a required member. Project Support provides administrative assistance but is not on the Project Board.
