PRINCE2F PRINCE2 Processes Practice Question
During the Managing Product Delivery process, what does the Team Manager produce to inform the Project Manager of progress?
⚠ Common exam trap
Candidates often confuse the Checkpoint Report (produced by the Team Manager) with the Highlight Report (produced by the Project Manager), as both report progress but at different levels and to different audiences.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
Checkpoint Report
In PRINCE2, the Team Manager produces a Checkpoint Report during the Managing Product Delivery process to inform the Project Manager of progress at a regular, predefined frequency. This report provides a snapshot of actual progress against the Work Package plan, including achievements, next steps, and any issues or risks. It is the primary mechanism for the Team Manager to communicate status to the Project Manager within this process.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Exception Report
Why it's wrong here
An Exception Report is raised only when a stage or project deviates beyond tolerance, so it cannot serve as routine progress communication. It is tempting because Team Managers do escalate exceptions, but that is a one-off control action, not the regular checkpoint the Project Manager expects during Managing Product Delivery.
- ✓
Checkpoint Report
Why this is correct
The Team Manager provides Checkpoint Reports to the Project Manager at the frequency agreed in the Work Package, covering progress, issues and risks. Highlight Reports are produced by the Project Manager for the Project Board, not by the Team Manager.
- ✗
End Stage Report
Why it's wrong here
The End Stage Report is assembled by the Project Manager at stage boundaries, not by the Team Manager mid-delivery. It is tempting because it does summarise progress, but its timing and authorship belong to the Controlling a Stage process, so it cannot inform ongoing delivery progress here.
- ✗
Highlight Report
Why it's wrong here
The Highlight Report is produced by the Project Manager for the Project Board, not by the Team Manager for the Project Manager. It is tempting because it is a periodic progress summary, but the direction of reporting is upward to governance, not from the delivery team.
