Answer analysis

For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.

✗
To perform Project Assurance for the Work Package
Why it's wrong here
Project Assurance is a separate role focused on objective oversight of the project’s compliance with standards, not on executing the Work Package. The Team Manager’s responsibility is to produce the Work Package’s deliverables and report progress, not to perform assurance. This option is tempting because assurance activities do involve checking work, but that function belongs to a Project Assurance role, not to the Team Manager, who would only perform assurance if explicitly appointed to that role in addition to their management duties.
✓
To deliver the Work Package within tolerances
Why this is correct
The Team Manager manages the work and reports to the PM.
✗
To raise issues directly to the Project Board
Why it's wrong here
The Team Manager escalates to the PM, not directly to the board.
✗
To update the project plan with actual progress
Why it's wrong here
Updating the project plan is the PM's responsibility.
