PRINCE2F PRINCE2 Processes Practice Question
A project is in the Closing a Project process. What should the Project Manager produce to recommend project closure?
⚠ Common exam trap
PRINCE2F often tests the confusion between End Stage Report (stage boundary) and End Project Report (project closure) — candidates pick End Stage Report because both contain 'End' and 'Report', but only the End Project Report recommends project closure.
Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
End Project Report
The End Project Report is the PRINCE2 management product produced during the Closing a Project process to recommend project closure. It summarizes the project's performance against the Project Initiation Documentation (PID), confirms acceptance of products, and provides the recommendation to the Project Board to close the project. It is the formal document that triggers the closure decision.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Exception Report
Why it's wrong here
An Exception Report is raised during a stage when tolerances are forecast to be exceeded, prompting a decision from the Project Board. It is tempting because it escalates to the board, but closure uses the End Project Report, which confirms products are delivered and benefits reviewed.
- ✓
End Project Report
Why this is correct
The End Project Report is the PRINCE2 product the Project Manager produces during Closing a Project to assess the project against its original baselines and recommend closure to the Project Board, satisfying the stem's requirement for a closure recommendation.
- ✗
End Stage Report
Why it's wrong here
An End Stage Report is produced at the end of each management stage to review progress and request authorisation for the next stage. It is tempting because it does recommend something, but the Closing a Project process requires an End Project Report, which evaluates the project against its baseline.
- ✗
Project Brief
Why it's wrong here
The Project Brief is a pre-project product that captures the initial business case and scope, created before the project starts. It is tempting as a foundational document, but closure requires the End Project Report, which records actual performance against the original Project Initiation Documentation.
