PRINCE2F PRINCE2 Processes Practice Question
In the Controlling a Stage process, a Team Manager reports that a product is complete. Which activity does the Project Manager perform next?
⚠ Common exam trap

Correct answer & explanation
✓
Review the product to confirm it meets quality criteria
In the Controlling a Stage process, after a Team Manager reports that a product is complete, the Project Manager must first review the product to confirm it meets the quality criteria defined in the Product Description. This is part of the 'Review Work Package' activity, ensuring that the product is fit for purpose before any further actions, such as reporting or planning, occur. Only after this quality check can the Project Manager proceed to other activities like updating logs or sending reports.
