PRINCE2F People: organizations, teams, and leadership Practice Question
A Team Manager receives a Work Package from the Project Manager. To whom should the Team Manager report progress?
⚠ Common exam trap
It's easy for candidates to confuse the reporting line with oversight roles, assuming that Project Assurance or the Board needs direct progress updates, when PRINCE2 explicitly mandates that the Team Manager reports only to the Project Manager to preserve the single point of control.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
Project Manager
In PRINCE2, the Team Manager is responsible for delivering the Work Package and reports progress directly to the Project Manager, who is the single point of accountability for the project. The Project Manager uses this information to update the Project Plan and report to the Project Board. This ensures a clear line of control and avoids bypassing the management layer.
