PRINCE2F PRINCE2 Processes Practice Question
A project is in the Managing Product Delivery process. A team member identifies a quality issue with a product being developed. Who is responsible for producing a Checkpoint Report?
⚠ Common exam trap
PeopleCert often tests the distinction between who produces a report versus who receives it; the trap here is that candidates may incorrectly assign the Checkpoint Report to the Project Manager because they associate reporting with project-level control, but PRINCE2 explicitly assigns this to the Team Manager for work package-level reporting.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
Team Manager
In the Managing Product Delivery process, the Team Manager is responsible for producing the Checkpoint Report. This report provides the Project Manager with progress information on the work packages assigned to the team, including any issues such as quality problems. The Checkpoint Report is a key control document that the Team Manager uses to communicate status at regular intervals, typically weekly.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
Team Manager
Why this is correct
In Managing Product Delivery, the Team Manager produces Checkpoint Reports to inform the Project Manager of work progress, quality and issues. The Team Manager owns this reporting duty, so they are responsible when a quality issue arises.
- ✗
Senior User
Why it's wrong here
The Senior User represents user interests on the Project Board and specifies requirements; they do not author Checkpoint Reports. Those reports are produced by the Team Manager to update the Project Manager on work progress within Managing Product Delivery, so the Senior User's involvement sits at board-level direction, not team-level reporting.
- ✗
Project Manager
Why it's wrong here
The Project Manager does not produce Checkpoint Reports; these are created by the Team Manager for the Project Manager during the Managing Product Delivery process to report on work package progress and any issues, such as the identified quality problem. The Project Manager's primary reporting responsibility is to the Project Board, producing Highlight Reports to keep them apprised of overall project status. This option is tempting because the Project Manager is central to project communication and reporting, but their role is to receive Checkpoint Reports, not originate them.
- ✗
Project Support
Why it's wrong here
Project Support provides administrative assistance such as maintaining logs, configuration records and filing, not progress reporting. The Checkpoint Report is the Team Manager's mechanism for informing the Project Manager of product status, so assigning it to Project Support confuses an administrative support function with the delivery accountability held by the Team Manager.

Variation 1. In the Managing Product Delivery process, what is the Team Manager responsible for?
medium- ✓ A.Accepting and delivering Work Packages
- B.Producing Highlight Reports for the Project Board
- C.Authorizing the initiation of the project
- D.Updating the Business Case
Why A: In PRINCE2, the Managing Product Delivery process focuses on the work required to create project products. The Team Manager's primary responsibility is to accept Work Packages from the Project Manager and then deliver them by coordinating the team's work, ensuring the products meet the required quality criteria. This directly aligns with option A, as accepting and delivering Work Packages is the core function of the Team Manager within this process.
