PRINCE2F PRINCE2 Processes Practice Question
A team is working on a Work Package. The Team Manager needs to report progress to the Project Manager. Which report should be used?
⚠ Common exam trap
The trap is confusing the reporting levels — Checkpoint (Team→PM), Highlight (PM→Board), and Exception (PM→Board on tolerance breach) — candidates often pick Highlight because it 'sounds like progress reporting' without checking who reports to whom.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
Checkpoint Report
In PRINCE2, the Team Manager reports progress on a Work Package to the Project Manager using a Checkpoint Report. Checkpoints are the agreed frequency (e.g., weekly) at which the Team Manager informs the Project Manager of work package progress, typically covering status, issues, and next steps.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
Checkpoint Report
Why this is correct
The Checkpoint Report is the Team Manager's regular progress report to the Project Manager at each checkpoint, covering status, issues and next work. Highlight Reports flow upward from the Project Manager to the board instead.
- ✗
Exception Report
Why it's wrong here
An Exception Report is only produced when a Work Package deviates beyond agreed tolerances, so routine progress reporting falls outside its trigger. It is tempting because it also flows from Team Manager to Project Manager, but that pathway is reserved for forecast breaches, not scheduled updates.
- ✗
Highlight Report
Why it's wrong here
The Highlight Report is the Project Manager's periodic report to the Project Board, not the Team Manager's report to the Project Manager. It is tempting because it summarises progress at regular intervals, and would be correct when the Project Manager updates the Board during a stage.
- ✗
End Stage Report
Why it's wrong here
The End Stage Report is produced by the Project Manager at the end of a stage for the Project Board, not by a Team Manager reporting Work Package progress. It is tempting because it also reports progress, and would be correct when closing a stage and requesting authorisation for the next one.
