Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Update the Work Package tolerance and proceed
Why it's wrong here
The Team Manager cannot change tolerances; only the Project Manager can authorize changes.

Raise an Exception Report to the Project Board
Why it's wrong here
Exception Reports are raised by the Project Manager, not the Team Manager.

Continue with the work and report the delay in the next Checkpoint Report
Why it's wrong here
