PRINCE2F PRINCE2 Practices Practice Question
What is the purpose of a Checkpoint Report?
⚠ Common exam trap

Correct answer & explanation
✓
To report progress of a Work Package from the Team Manager to the Project Manager
The Checkpoint Report is a PRINCE2 management product used by the Team Manager to report progress of a Work Package to the Project Manager. Its purpose is to provide regular, detailed progress updates on the work being performed by the team, ensuring the Project Manager can monitor delivery against the Work Package plan. This is distinct from higher-level reports like the End Stage Report or Highlight Report.
