PRINCE2F PRINCE2 Practices Practice Question
During the Managing a Stage Boundary process, the Project Manager is preparing the End Stage Report. Which of the following should be included in the End Stage Report?
⚠ Common exam trap

Correct answer & explanation
✓
A summary of the stage's performance against its tolerances
The End Stage Report is produced during Managing a Stage Boundary and provides a summary of the stage's performance against its tolerances, including progress, issues, and risks. It is used by the Project Board to assess whether the stage was successful and to decide on the next stage.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
A detailed plan for the next stage
Why it's wrong here
The detailed plan for the next stage is the Next Stage Plan, which is a separate document produced during Managing a Stage Boundary. While the End Stage Report may reference it, the detailed plan itself is not part of the End Stage Report.
- ✗
The project's risk management approach
Why it's wrong here
The Risk Management Approach is part of the project initiation documentation and is not included in the End Stage Report. The End Stage Report may summarize risk status, but it does not contain the approach document itself.
- ✓
A summary of the stage's performance against its tolerances
Why this is correct
The End Stage Report summarizes the stage's performance, including actual versus planned results, and whether the stage stayed within its tolerances. It provides the Project Board with the information needed to decide whether to approve the next stage.
- ✗
The updated Business Case
Why it's wrong here
The updated Business Case is a separate document that is reviewed and updated during Managing a Stage Boundary, but it is not included in the End Stage Report. The End Stage Report focuses on the stage's performance, not the overall business justification.
