PRINCE2F PRINCE2 Processes Practice Question
A project is in the delivery stage. The team manager has accepted a work package. Which process governs the team manager's work in delivering the products?
⚠ Common exam trap
In PRINCE2, the trap is confusing the project manager's process (Controlling a Stage) with the team manager's process (Managing Product Delivery). Candidates often pick Controlling a Stage because it involves work packages, but it governs the project manager's oversight, not the team manager's execution.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
Managing Product Delivery
Managing Product Delivery (D) is the correct process because it governs the acceptance, execution, and delivery of work packages by the team manager. In the delivery stage, the team manager receives a work package from the project manager (via Controlling a Stage) and is responsible for producing the products, reporting progress, and delivering completed work back to the project manager. This process directly controls the team manager's activities in building the products.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Initiating a Project
Why it's wrong here
Initiating a Project covers assembling the project initiation documentation and business case before delivery begins, so it cannot govern a team manager already executing an accepted work package. It is tempting because it establishes the project's controls, but those controls are exercised later through Managing Product Delivery.
- ✗
Directing a Project
Why it's wrong here
Directing a Project concerns the project board's decisions, such as authorising stages and tolerances, not the team manager's execution of an accepted work package. It is tempting because the board authorises the stage containing the work, but product delivery itself sits with Managing Product Delivery.
- ✗
Controlling a Stage
Why it's wrong here
Controlling a Stage governs the project manager's day-to-day management of a stage, including authorising work packages and monitoring progress; the team manager's delivery of accepted products is governed by Managing Product Delivery. Controlling a Stage is tempting because it is the stage-level process that issued the work package.
- ✓
Managing Product Delivery
Why this is correct
Managing Product Delivery governs the work of the team manager in accepting, executing and delivering a work package, covering the interface between the project manager and the team. It directly satisfies the stem's constraint that the team manager has accepted a work package during the delivery stage.
