PRINCE2F PRINCE2 Processes Practice Question
During the Managing a Stage Boundary process, the Project Manager produces an End Stage Report. What is the primary purpose of this report?
⚠ Common exam trap
Watch out — candidates often confuse the End Stage Report's primary purpose with secondary functions like recording lessons or documenting product acceptance, leading them to choose options that describe supporting activities rather than the core authorization gate decision.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
To summarize the progress of the current stage and request authorization for the next stage
The End Stage Report is produced during the Managing a Stage Boundary process to provide the Project Board with a summary of the current stage's performance against the plan, including progress, issues, and lessons. Its primary purpose is to enable the Project Board to decide whether to authorize the next stage, making option B correct.
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 record lessons learned for future projects
Why it's wrong here
Lessons are captured in a Lessons Report, which is also produced in SB, but the primary purpose of the End Stage Report is to inform the go/no-go decision.
- ✓
To summarize the progress of the current stage and request authorization for the next stage
Why this is correct
Correct. The End Stage Report is used by the Project Board to decide whether to proceed.
- ✗
To notify the Project Board of any issues that have occurred during the stage
Why it's wrong here
Issues are reported through Issue Reports and Exception Reports; the End Stage Report does include progress but its primary purpose is stage authorization.
- ✗
To document the acceptance of all products delivered in the stage
Why it's wrong here
Product acceptance is confirmed earlier; the End Stage Report summarizes stage performance.
