PRINCE2F PRINCE2 Practices Practice Question
During the Controlling a Stage process, a Team Manager reports that a work package is complete. What should the Project Manager do next?
⚠ Common exam trap
Candidates often think that completing a work package automatically allows the Project Manager to authorize the next one, but the Controlling a Stage process requires a formal review of the completed work package against its criteria before acceptance.

Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
Review the work package and, if acceptable, approve it
In PRINCE2, the Project Manager must first review the completed work package against its agreed criteria (e.g., quality tolerances, deliverables) before formally accepting it. This aligns with the 'Review Work Package' step in the Controlling a Stage process, ensuring that only verified outputs are approved. Option B is correct because the Project Manager cannot proceed to authorize further work or update plans until the current work package is formally accepted.
