Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
Project Manager
Why this is correct
The team manager reports work package completion directly to the Project Manager, who authorised the work package and owns progress tracking within the controlling a stage process. This satisfies PRINCE2's defined reporting line, since the Project Manager must update the stage plan and checkpoint against actual completion before authorising the next work package.
- ✗
Project Board
Why it's wrong here
The Project Board sets tolerances and approves stage boundaries, not individual work packages. Reporting completion to it is tempting because the board authorises the project, but PRINCE2 requires the team manager to notify the project manager, who accepts the deliverables and escalates only exceptions to the board.
- ✗
Senior Responsible Owner
Why it's wrong here
The Senior Responsible Owner owns the business case and chairs the project board; work package completion is never reported to them directly. This is tempting because the SRO is accountable for project success, but PRINCE2 routes completion through the project manager, who updates the board via checkpoint and highlight reports.
- ✗
Project Assurance
Why it's wrong here
Project Assurance monitors the project against its business, user and supplier interests; it does not receive work package completion notifications. Reporting to it is tempting because assurance checks that deliverables meet requirements, but the team manager reports completion to the project manager, who then accepts the work package on the board's behalf.
