Correct answer & explanation
✓
Team Manager
In PRINCE2, the Team Manager is responsible for managing risks at the work package level. This includes identifying, assessing, and controlling risks that could affect the delivery of the work package, as defined in the Work Package and the Team Plan. The Team Manager reports risk status to the Project Manager via Checkpoint Reports.
Key principle: Answer the scenario, not the keyword: identify the specific constraint before choosing the most familiar-sounding option.

Common exam traps
Common exam trap: answer the scenario, not the keyword
The trap here is that candidates often confuse the Project Manager's overall risk ownership with the Team Manager's delegated responsibility for work-package-level risks, especially when the question emphasizes 'identifying and managing risks' without specifying the level.
Detailed technical explanation
How to think about this question
The Team Manager's risk management role is formalized in the 'Manage Product Delivery' process, where they update the Quality Register and Risk Register with work-package-specific risks. In PRINCE2, the Risk Management approach defines how risks are escalated; the Team Manager must escalate risks that exceed agreed tolerances to the Project Manager. This delegation ensures the Project Manager can focus on strategic risks while the Team Manager handles operational risks within the work package.
KKey Concepts to Remember
- Read the scenario before looking for a memorised answer.
- Find the constraint that changes the correct option.
- Eliminate answers that are true in general but not in this case.
TExam Day Tips
- Watch for words such as best, first, most likely and least administrative effort.
- Review why wrong options are wrong, not only why the correct option is correct.
Key takeaway
Answer the scenario, not the keyword: identify the specific constraint before choosing the most familiar-sounding option.
Real-world example
How this comes up in practice
A practitioner preparing for the PRINCE2F exam encounters this exact type of scenario on the job. The correct answer here is not the most general option — it is the best answer for the specific constraint described. Answer the scenario, not the keyword: identify the specific constraint before choosing the most familiar-sounding option. Real exam questions reward reading the full scenario before eliminating options, because the constraint defines which answer fits.
