Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
Authorize Work Packages, then Review Work Package Status, then Receive Completed Work Packages, then Review Stage Status, then Report Highlights, then Capture and Examine Issues and Risks, then Take Corrective Action, then Escalate Issues and Risks (if needed)
Why this is correct
This is the correct order as per PRINCE2: first authorize work, then monitor progress, review status, report, and handle issues with corrective action and escalation if necessary.
- ✗
Report Highlights, then Authorize Work Packages, then Review Work Package Status, then Receive Completed Work Packages, then Review Stage Status, then Capture and Examine Issues and Risks, then Take Corrective Action, then Escalate Issues and Risks (if needed)
Why it's wrong here
This is incorrect because reporting highlights should occur after reviewing stage status, not before authorizing work.
- ✗
Take Corrective Action, then Authorize Work Packages, then Review Work Package Status, then Receive Completed Work Packages, then Review Stage Status, then Report Highlights, then Capture and Examine Issues and Risks, then Escalate Issues and Risks (if needed)
Why it's wrong here
This is incorrect because corrective action must be based on identified issues and risks, which come after reviewing status and capturing issues.
- ✗
Escalate Issues and Risks (if needed), then Authorize Work Packages, then Review Work Package Status, then Receive Completed Work Packages, then Review Stage Status, then Report Highlights, then Capture and Examine Issues and Risks, then Take Corrective Action
Why it's wrong here
This is incorrect because escalation is a last resort after attempting corrective action, not the first step.
