PRINCE2F PRINCE2 Processes Practice Question
In the Managing Product Delivery process, who produces Checkpoint Reports?
⚠ Common exam trap
Test-takers frequently confuse the producer and consumer of Checkpoint Reports: candidates often think the Project Manager produces them because they manage the project, but PRINCE2 assigns this to the Team Manager as part of delegated work package management.

Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
Team Manager
Why this is correct
Within Managing Product Delivery, the Team Manager reports progress, status and issues to the project manager via Checkpoint Reports. This keeps the project manager informed of work package progress, satisfying the stem's question about who produces these reports.
- ✗
Project Manager
Why it's wrong here
Checkpoint Reports are produced by the Team Manager, who controls the work package and reports progress to the Project Manager. The Project Manager receives and consolidates them, so producing them would breach PRINCE2's role separation. The Project Manager would instead author Highlight Reports for the Project Board.
- ✗
Project Assurance
Why it's wrong here
Project Assurance monitors the project against business, user and supplier interests; it does not author Checkpoint Reports. Those come from the Team Manager, who owns the work package and reports progress to the Project Manager. Project Assurance would review such reports, not create them.
- ✗
Project Board
Why it's wrong here
The Project Board receives and reviews reports but does not produce Checkpoint Reports. It is tempting because the board governs delivery and approves work packages. The Team Manager produces Checkpoint Reports during Managing Product Delivery, reporting progress, issues and forecast to the Project Manager.
