PRINCE2F PRINCE2 Practices Practice Question
Which report is produced by the Team Manager to inform the Project Manager about progress against a Work Package?
⚠ Common exam trap
PRINCE2F often tests report ownership and audience — candidates mix up Checkpoint Reports (Team Manager to Project Manager), Highlight Reports (Project Manager to Project Board), and End Stage Reports (Project Manager to Project Board at stage end).

Correct answer & explanation
✓
Checkpoint Report
A Checkpoint Report is produced by the Team Manager and given to the Project Manager at the frequency defined in the Work Package. It reports progress, status, and any issues against the Work Package, enabling the Project Manager to monitor the stage. It is the standard mechanism for Team Manager-to-Project Manager progress communication.

- ✓
Checkpoint Report
Why this is correct
The Checkpoint Report is the progress report the Team Manager produces at the frequency agreed in the Work Package, covering status, progress, issues and next steps, and sends to the Project Manager. It satisfies the stem's requirement for reporting progress against a Work Package, unlike Highlight or End Stage Reports.
- ✗
End Stage Report
Why it's wrong here
The End Stage Report summarises progress for an entire management stage, not for a single Work Package. It is produced by the Project Manager for the Project Board at stage boundaries. The temptation arises because it does report progress, but the Team Manager’s specific output for a Work Package is the Checkpoint Report, which provides the detailed, periodic progress update the stem requires.
- ✗
Exception Report
Why it's wrong here
An Exception Report forecasts deviations from tolerances and is raised by the Project Manager to the Project Board, so it cannot serve as the Team Manager's routine progress communication. It is tempting because it does address progress, but it applies only when a Work Package's tolerances are forecast to be breached, not for regular Checkpoint reporting.
- ✗
Highlight Report
Why it's wrong here
The Highlight Report flows from the Project Manager to the Project Board, so it cannot satisfy a Team Manager reporting against a Work Package. It is tempting because it genuinely serves progress reporting, but at project level to the Board. A Checkpoint Report is the correct vehicle for Team Manager to Project Manager progress within a Work Package.
