PRINCE2F PRINCE2 Practices Practice Question
Which report is prepared by the Team Manager and sent to the Project Manager at regular intervals?
⚠ Common exam trap
PRINCE2F often tests the confusion between the Checkpoint Report (Team Manager to Project Manager) and the Highlight Report (Project Manager to Project Board), so candidates who mix up the sender and recipient pick the wrong report.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
Checkpoint Report
The Checkpoint Report is prepared by the Team Manager and sent to the Project Manager at regular intervals (typically weekly or at agreed frequencies) to report on progress, status, and issues within the team. It is a PRINCE2 progress report that provides the Project Manager with visibility into team-level work. The Highlight Report, by contrast, is prepared by the Project Manager for the Project Board.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
End Stage Report
Why it's wrong here
The End Stage Report is assembled by the Project Manager for the Project Board at the close of a stage, so it is neither Team Manager authored nor periodic. Its end-of-stage timing makes it tempting, yet the regular Team Manager-to-Project Manager report is the Checkpoint Report, covering progress, status and issues each period.
- ✗
Exception Report
Why it's wrong here
An Exception Report is produced by the Project Manager for the Project Board when tolerances are forecast to be exceeded, not by the Team Manager at routine intervals. It is tempting because both are progress-related reports, but the correct choice is the Checkpoint Report, which the Team Manager sends the Project Manager each reporting period.
- ✗
Highlight Report
Why it's wrong here
The Highlight Report is written by the Project Manager for the Project Board at agreed intervals, so its author and recipient are both wrong here. Its periodic nature makes it tempting, but the Team Manager's regular report to the Project Manager is the Checkpoint Report, which also feeds the Highlight Report.
- ✓
Checkpoint Report
Why this is correct
The Checkpoint Report is produced by the Team Manager at the frequency agreed in the Work Package and sent to the Project Manager, covering progress, issues and next steps. This satisfies the stem's requirement for a regular Team Manager report, distinguishing it from Highlight and End Stage Reports.
