PRINCE2F People: organizations, teams, and leadership Practice Question
Which role is responsible for managing the delivery of Work Packages and reporting progress to the Project Manager?
⚠ Common exam trap
Candidates often confuse the Team Manager with the Project Manager, assuming the Project Manager directly manages all work, but PRINCE2 explicitly separates these roles to enable delegation and management by exception.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
Team Manager
In PRINCE2, the Team Manager is responsible for managing the delivery of Work Packages and reporting progress to the Project Manager. This role ensures that the products defined in the Work Package are created to the required quality, within time and cost constraints, and provides regular progress reports to the Project Manager.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Project Manager
Why it's wrong here
The Project Manager manages the project on a day-to-day basis, authorises Work Packages, and receives progress reports from Team Managers; they do not deliver the Work Packages themselves. It is tempting because the Project Manager owns overall progress reporting, and the role would be correct for escalating tolerances or authorising work.
- ✗
Senior Supplier
Why it's wrong here
The Senior Supplier represents the supplier's interests on the Project Board and provides resources and expertise; they do not manage Work Package delivery or report progress. This is tempting because suppliers do perform the work, and the role would be correct for agreeing supplier commitments and ensuring supplier resources are made available.
- ✓
Team Manager
Why this is correct
The Team Manager accepts Work Packages from the Project Manager, manages their day-to-day delivery, and reports progress, quality and issues back up. This directly satisfies the stem's requirement, since PRINCE2 assigns Work Package delivery and progress reporting to the Team Manager role, not the Project Manager or Project Board.
- ✗
Project Support
Why it's wrong here
Project Support provides administrative services such as maintaining the project filing structure, configuration management, and tooling; it does not manage Work Package delivery. It is tempting because support staff often collate progress data, and the role would be correct for administering change control, maintaining the lessons log, or assisting with reporting.
