PRINCE2F PRINCE2 Processes Practice Question
In which process are End Stage Reports produced?
⚠ Common exam trap
Many exam-takers confuse the End Stage Report with the End Project Report, incorrectly selecting Closing a Project (Option A) because both reports have similar names, but the End Stage Report is specifically tied to stage boundaries, not project closure.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
Managing a Stage Boundary
The End Stage Report is produced during the Managing a Stage Boundary process. This process is triggered at the end of each management stage (except the final stage) to evaluate the current stage's performance, plan the next stage, and update the business case. The report is then provided to the Project Board for approval to proceed.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Closing a Project
Why it's wrong here
Closing a Project produces the End Project Report, not the End Stage Report; the latter is created during Managing a Stage Boundary to inform the board's decision on the next stage. It is tempting because both are closure-oriented reports, and it would be correct for the End Project Report and Lessons Report.
- ✗
Controlling a Stage
Why it's wrong here
Controlling a Stage covers work package authorisation, progress monitoring and exception handling; the End Stage Report is assembled by the Project Manager during Managing a Stage Boundary. It is tempting because stage-level reporting occurs here, and it would be correct for the Highlight Report, which is produced in this process.
- ✗
Directing a Project
Why it's wrong here
Directing a Project is where the board reviews the End Stage Report and authorises the next stage, not where the report is written. It is tempting because the board consumes this document here, and it would be correct for producing the Project Initiation Documentation or authorising project closure.
- ✓
Managing a Stage Boundary
Why this is correct
End Stage Reports are produced within Managing a Stage Boundary, where the Project Manager reviews stage performance and prepares information for the Project Board. This satisfies the stem by placing the report in the process that requests authorisation for the next stage.
