According to the 'exception management' technique, the team manager should raise an issue when they predict that a product will cause a work package to exceed its time tolerance. This proactive approach allows for timely decision-making and corrective action by the Project Board, ensuring that project delivery is kept on track and within the agreed tolerances. References: PRINCE2 methodology and exception management guidance.

If a project is part of a programme, the activities related to verifying the project approach and capturing previous lessons in the 'Starting up a Project' process are most likely to be reduced or eliminated. This reduction occurs because the programme likely provides a strategic framework and lessons learned that the project can adopt directly.

The 'Develop' step in the 'Business Case Management' technique within PRINCE2 is where the rationale for the project is initially formulated. This includes evaluating whether current operations should continue as they are or if a change through a project could potentially enhance efficiency or effectiveness. This is the stage where strategic decisions about starting a project are made based on business justifications.

The purpose of the Change theme in PRINCE2 is to identify, assess, and control any potential and approved changes to baselined products. This theme provides the mechanisms to manage and control changes, which may affect the project's agreed-upon scope, products, timescales, or costs. It ensures that all changes are assessed for their impact and only implemented with appropriate approvals.

The 'Starting up a Project' process in PRINCE2 is typically triggered when a project mandate is available.
The project mandate provides the basic information necessary to define whether there is sufficient justification to proceed with the project's setup.
