Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
Raise an Issue to the Project Manager
The correct action is to raise an Issue. In PRINCE2, any problem, including a defect, is logged as an Issue. The Project Manager then decides if it is an Off-specification, Request for Change, or Problem/Concern.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Stop work on the product and wait for instructions
Why it's wrong here
Stopping work without authorization is not appropriate; the Team Manager should raise an Issue and continue with other work if possible.
- ✓
Raise an Issue to the Project Manager
Why this is correct
Correct. The Team Manager raises an Issue so the Project Manager can assess the impact and decide on corrective action.
- ✗
Correct the defect immediately and report it in the next Checkpoint Report
Why it's wrong here
The Team Manager should not unilaterally correct defects that affect quality criteria without first raising an Issue.
- ✗
Record the defect in the Quality Register only
Why it's wrong here
The Quality Register logs quality activities, but issues related to defects are managed via the Issue Register.
