Question 2

The Project Manager reports that a work package is in danger of exceeding its tolerance. What should the Project Manager do?

Accepted Answer

Escalate to the Project Board via an Exception Report. In PRINCE2, when a work package is in danger of exceeding tolerance, the Project Manager must forecast the deviation and escalate to the Project Board via an Exception Report. The Team Manager does not produce Exception Reports; that is the Project Manager's responsibility.

Issue a Change Request
