PRINCE2F People: organizations, teams, and leadership Practice Question
During the Controlling a Stage process, a Work Package is authorized by the Project Manager. Who is responsible for delivering the Work Package?
⚠ Common exam trap
Many candidates confuse the Project Manager's role of authorizing the Work Package with the responsibility for its delivery, leading them to select the Project Manager instead of the Team Manager.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
Team Manager
In PRINCE2, the Team Manager is the role responsible for delivering the Work Package authorized by the Project Manager during the Controlling a Stage process. The Team Manager coordinates the team's work, ensures the products meet the agreed quality criteria, and reports progress back to the Project Manager.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Senior Supplier
Why it's wrong here
The Senior Supplier represents supplier interests on the Project Board and provides resources or technical assurance; they do not deliver Work Packages. Team Managers deliver Work Packages, so this role would be correct only when the supplier also holds a Team Manager appointment.
- ✗
Project Support
Why it's wrong here
Project Support provides administrative services such as maintaining the risk, issue and configuration item registers, plus tooling and data collection. It does not deliver Work Packages; Team Managers do, so Project Support would be correct for supporting the project's information and change control.
- ✓
Team Manager
Why this is correct
The Team Manager accepts the Work Package from the Project Manager and is accountable for its delivery, directing team members and reporting progress, quality and forecast through Checkpoint Reports. This matches PRINCE2's defined responsibility for Work Package execution.
- ✗
Project Manager
Why it's wrong here
The Project Manager authorises Work Packages during Controlling a Stage but delegates their delivery; they monitor progress and handle exceptions rather than performing the work. This role would be correct for authorising, reviewing or accepting the Work Package, not delivering it.
