PRINCE2F PRINCE2 Processes Practice Question
During the Managing Product Delivery process, who produces Checkpoint Reports?
⚠ Common exam trap
Watch out — candidates often confuse the roles of Project Manager and Team Manager, assuming the Project Manager produces all reports, but PRINCE2 specifically assigns Checkpoint Reports to the Team Manager to maintain clear delegation and control.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
Team Manager
In PRINCE2, the Team Manager is responsible for producing Checkpoint Reports during the Managing Product Delivery process. These reports provide the Project Manager with progress updates on work packages, including actual versus planned progress, quality activities, and any issues or risks. The Team Manager is the role that manages the day-to-day work of the team and reports back to the Project Manager.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Project Manager
Why it's wrong here
Checkpoint Reports are produced by the Team Manager, not the Project Manager, who receives them during Managing Product Delivery. The Project Manager authors Highlight Reports for the Project Board. Confusing the two is tempting because the Project Manager owns overall progress reporting, but the checkpoint covers team-level work.
- ✗
Project Board
Why it's wrong here
The Project Board receives progress information and makes directional decisions; it does not author Checkpoint Reports. Those come from the Team Manager, who reports work package status to the Project Manager. The Board's reporting artefact is the Highlight Report, so its governance role makes it a tempting but wrong source.
- ✗
Project Support
Why it's wrong here
Project Support maintains administrative and configuration management duties, not progress reporting against a Work Package. It is tempting because support staff handle documentation and registers, but Checkpoint Reports are produced by the Team Manager to inform the Project Manager during Managing Product Delivery.
- ✓
Team Manager
Why this is correct
Within Managing Product Delivery, the Team Manager produces Checkpoint Reports to inform the Project Manager of work package progress, typically at agreed intervals. Work Package status and quality register updates flow from this role, not from the Project Board or Project Assurance.

These questions test the same concept from different angles. Work through them to make sure you can recognise it however the exam phrases it.
Variation 1. During the Controlling a Stage process, the Project Manager receives a Checkpoint Report. Who prepared this report?
medium- A.The Senior Supplier
- B.The Project Support
- ✓ C.The Team Manager
- D.The Project Board
Why C: In PRINCE2, the Checkpoint Report is prepared by the Team Manager and provided to the Project Manager at a frequency defined in the Work Package. It reports on progress, status, and issues for the team's work during the reporting period. This supports the Controlling a Stage process by giving the Project Manager visibility into team-level progress.
Variation 2. During the Controlling a Stage process, the Project Manager receives a Checkpoint Report. Who prepared this report?
medium- A.Project Manager
- B.Project Board
- ✓ C.Team Manager
- D.Project Support
Why C: In PRINCE2, the Checkpoint Report is a progress report prepared by the Team Manager on behalf of the team. It provides the Project Manager with a snapshot of the work completed, planned, and any issues or risks within a work package. The Project Manager uses this report during the Controlling a Stage process to monitor progress and make informed decisions.
Variation 3. During the Controlling a Stage process, who is responsible for producing Checkpoint Reports?
medium- ✓ A.Team Manager
- B.Project Manager
- C.Project Board
- D.Project Support
Why A: Checkpoint Reports are produced by the Team Manager and sent to the Project Manager to inform about progress within a Work Package.
Variation 4. During the Managing Product Delivery process, who produces the Checkpoint Report?
medium- A.Project Manager
- ✓ B.Team Manager
- C.Project Support
- D.Project Board
Why B: The Team Manager is responsible for producing Checkpoint Reports to inform the Project Manager of progress within a Work Package.
Variation 5. Who produces Checkpoint Reports during the Managing Product Delivery process?
medium- A.Project Board
- ✓ B.Team Manager

- D.Project Manager
Why B: The Team Manager is responsible for producing Checkpoint Reports during the Managing Product Delivery process. These reports provide the Project Manager with progress information on the work package assigned to the team, including achievements, next steps, and any issues or risks. This aligns with PRINCE2's principle of management by exception, where the Team Manager reports at intervals defined in the Work Package.
