Correct answer & explanation

Highlight Report

The Highlight Report and End Stage Report are both produced by the Project Manager and are formally reviewed by the Project Board. The Highlight Report provides regular progress updates, while the End Stage Report gives the Board information needed to authorize the next stage. The Exception Report (C) is also produced by the PM and reviewed by the Board, but it is only produced when tolerances are forecast to be exceeded, so it is not a routine review document. The End Project Report (E) is reviewed by the Board at the end of the project, but the question asks for documents reviewed during the project boundaries, making B and D the correct pair.

Common exam traps

Common exam trap: answer the scenario, not the keyword

Candidates often confuse the Checkpoint Report (for the Project Manager) with the Highlight Report, or think the Exception Report is always produced when it is only triggered by exceptions. The End Stage Report is a key board review document, not just a simple progress update.

Detailed technical explanation

How to think about this question

In PRINCE2, the Project Manager is responsible for producing management products that feed into the Project Board's control points. The Highlight Report is a time-driven report, typically issued at a frequency defined in the Communication Management Strategy, and includes a summary of progress, forecast, and issues. The Exception Report is an exception-driven report triggered when a stage's tolerances are forecast to be breached, and it must include options for the Board to consider. The End Stage Report is produced at the end of each stage and contains actual versus planned data, lessons learned, and a request for the next stage plan. A real-world scenario: if a project's cost tolerance is exceeded mid-stage, the PM must immediately produce an Exception Report; the Board then decides whether to approve a revised plan or prematurely close the project.
