Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
To provide the project manager with information on the status of work packages
Why this is correct
Correct. Checkpoint Reports are from TM to PM about work package status.
- ✗
To request changes to the work package
Why it's wrong here
Changes are managed via the issue and change control process.
- ✗
To inform the project board of the stage's overall progress
Why it's wrong here
That's the purpose of the Highlight Report, not Checkpoint Report.
- ✗
To escalate any issues that cannot be resolved by the team manager
Why it's wrong here
Issues are escalated via issue reports or other means; Checkpoint Reports are for status.
