Projects in Controlled Environments Foundation Practice Test

Answer: A - Corporate or Programme management. The project tolerances are documented in the Project Mandate.

Key takeaway: Tolerances are always set one level above that of the person responsible. Project tolerances are set by corporate or programme management and the project board are responsible for monitoring deviations. The project board then sets stage tolerances for the project manager, who in turn sets work package tolerances for the team manager, who may in turn even set tolerances for a team member.
