In stage 4, the Heritage Director delegates a review of the inspection arrangements to the...

The correct answer is B . The principle define roles, responsibilities and relationships requires more than assigning job titles. Individuals need to understand their delegated responsibilities, their authority, their interfaces with other participants, and what they can reasonably expect from those relationships.

The Heritage Director may delegate assurance activity provided accountability and authority remain appropriately structured. In this scenario, the Heritage Manager is expected to coordinate with the BuildyBrick CEO and project manager and report on whether the proposed inspection arrangements provide adequate assurance. For this arrangement to work, the Heritage Manager must understand precisely what the Heritage Director expects, the scope of the delegated review, and the contributions expected from the other parties.

PRINCE2 7 explicitly strengthens its treatment of relationships and recognizes that project effectiveness depends on deliberate interaction between people rather than merely documenting roles. PeopleCert describes clear responsibilities and good relationships as important foundations for governance, assurance, collaboration, and successful change.

Option A is too absolute: the principle does not impose an unrestricted requirement for every communication channel to remain open to everyone at all times. Options C and D incorrectly assume the activity cannot be delegated. PRINCE2 permits delegation while retaining appropriate accountability.
