PRINCE2F PRINCE2 Processes Practice Question
During the Controlling a Stage process, a Team Manager reports that a work package is complete. What is the next step for the Project Manager?

Correct answer & explanation
✓
Accept the completed work package and update the stage plan
According to PRINCE2, when a Team Manager reports a work package as complete, the Project Manager must first accept the completed work package and then update the stage plan to reflect the actual progress. This ensures the stage plan remains accurate and provides a basis for assessing the impact on the project plan and any necessary corrective actions.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Inform the Project Board immediately
Why it's wrong here
The Project Board is informed via periodic Highlight Reports, not immediate notification for each completed work package.
- ✗
Close the project
Why it's wrong here
Closing the project is a separate process that occurs after all stages are complete.
- ✓
Accept the completed work package and update the stage plan
Why this is correct
The Project Manager accepts the completed products and updates the stage plan to reflect progress.
- ✗
Start planning the next stage immediately
Why it's wrong here
Planning the next stage is done during Managing a Stage Boundary, not upon completion of a single work package.
