PRINCE2F PRINCE2 Processes Practice Question
The Project Manager receives a Highlight Report from the Project Board. Is this correct?
⚠ Common exam trap
A common mix-up: candidates confuse the direction of communication, assuming the Project Board sends reports to the Project Manager, when in fact the Highlight Report is a bottom-up reporting mechanism from the Project Manager to the Project Board.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
No, the Project Manager sends Highlight Reports to the Project Board
In PRINCE2, the Highlight Report is a management product that is prepared by the Project Manager and sent to the Project Board. The purpose of the Highlight Report is to provide the Project Board with a summary of the project's progress at intervals defined in the Communication Management Strategy. Therefore, the statement that the Project Manager receives a Highlight Report from the Project Board is incorrect; the flow is from the Project Manager to the Project Board.
