Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
File the report and take no further action
Why it's wrong here
The Project Manager must review and act on the report, not just file it.
- ✗
Escalate any deviations immediately to the Project Board via an Exception Report
Why it's wrong here
Only if a tolerance is forecast to be exceeded should an Exception Report be raised; otherwise, the Project Manager manages within tolerances.
- ✓
Review the report and use it to update the Stage Plan and produce the next Highlight Report for the Project Board
Why this is correct
Correct. The Project Manager uses Checkpoint Reports (and Highlight Reports from Team Managers) to monitor progress and report to the Board.
- ✗
Forward the report directly to the Project Board as the next Highlight Report
Why it's wrong here
The Project Manager consolidates information from Checkpoint Reports and other sources to produce their own Highlight Report; they do not forward Team Manager reports directly.
