Ace the PRINCE2 Foundation Blast 2025 – Unleash Your Project Power!

The responsibilities of the Project Board in the "Directing a Project" phase of PRINCE2 primarily focus on providing guidance, making decisions, and ensuring that the project is aligned with organizational objectives. This involves overseeing the project's execution to guarantee that it adheres to the defined goals, delivering expected outcomes within the allocated resources and timeline. The Project Board plays a crucial role in high-level direction, authorizing major project deliverables, and providing strategic oversight.

In contrast, creating detailed project plans and schedules is typically the responsibility of the project manager and their team, rather than the Project Board, which focuses more on governance than on execution. Allocating resources, while essential for project success, is also more aligned with the project manager's responsibilities, as they handle the day-to-day management of resources to fulfill project tasks. Monitoring project risks is an ongoing process that's part of the project management role, although the Project Board does review risks at a strategic level to ensure they are being effectively managed.
