PRINCE2F PRINCE2 Practices Practice Question
A project is nearing the end of a stage, and the Project Manager is preparing for the End Stage Report. The Project Board has requested assurance that the project remains viable. Which of the following should the Project Manager include in the End Stage Report to address this?
⚠ Common exam trap
The trap here is focusing on operational documents like the Quality Register or Risk Register instead of the Business Case, which is central to assessing project viability.

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
✓
A summary of the stage's performance against its tolerances and an updated Business Case.
The End Stage Report should provide the Project Board with a summary of stage performance against tolerances and an updated Business Case. The Business Case is the key document for assessing whether the project remains viable and should continue. Other documents, such as the Quality Register or Risk Register, may be referenced but are not the primary means of providing assurance on viability.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
A detailed list of all risks that have been closed during the stage.
Why it's wrong here
While risk information is important, a detailed list of closed risks alone does not provide comprehensive assurance of project viability. The End Stage Report should include an overview of risk exposure, but the key element for viability is the updated Business Case. Focusing only on closed risks would not give the Project Board the full picture.
- ✓
A summary of the stage's performance against its tolerances and an updated Business Case.
Why this is correct
The End Stage Report should include a summary of the stage's performance against its tolerances and an updated Business Case to provide assurance that the project remains viable. The Business Case is reviewed at each stage boundary to confirm that the project is still justified. This addresses the Project Board's need for assurance on viability.
- ✗
A copy of the Project Initiation Documentation with any changes highlighted.
Why it's wrong here
The Project Initiation Documentation is a baseline document, and while it may be updated, the End Stage Report is a separate report that summarizes stage performance and viability. Providing the entire PID would not directly address the request for assurance; the report should synthesize the relevant information, including the updated Business Case.
- ✗
The Quality Register showing all quality activities completed during the stage.
Why it's wrong here
The Quality Register is a useful document, but it is not the primary vehicle for demonstrating project viability. The End Stage Report should summarize quality performance, but the Project Board needs to see the updated Business Case to assess whether the project should continue. The Quality Register is a supporting document, not the main assurance tool.
