PRINCE2F People: organizations, teams, and leadership Practice Question
Which role is responsible for producing the Highlight Report?
⚠ Common exam trap
A common mix-up: candidates confuse the Highlight Report with the Checkpoint Report, mistakenly assigning the Team Manager as the producer, when in fact the Team Manager produces the Checkpoint Report and the Project Manager produces the Highlight Report.
Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
Project Manager
The Highlight Report is a progress report that summarizes the status of a management stage for the Project Board. According to PRINCE2, the Project Manager is responsible for producing the Highlight Report at intervals defined in the Communication Management Strategy, typically to keep the Project Board informed of progress, exceptions, and forecasts.
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 Support
Why it's wrong here
Project Support provides administrative services such as maintaining logs, filing and configuration management; it does not author the Highlight Report, which the Project Manager writes. It is tempting because Project Support does assemble and distribute management products, and would be correct if asked who administers the project's documentation and tools.
- ✓
Project Manager
Why this is correct
The Project Manager produces the Highlight Report, summarising progress, status and exceptions for the Project Board at the frequency agreed in the communication management approach, whereas the Project Board and Team Manager have other reporting duties.
- ✗
Senior Responsible Owner
Why it's wrong here
The Senior Responsible Owner is a corporate or programme role that owns the business case and benefits, not a project management team role producing progress reports. It is tempting because the SRO does receive and review the Highlight Report, and would be correct if the question asked who is accountable for realising project benefits.
- ✗
Team Manager
Why it's wrong here
The Team Manager produces Checkpoint Reports covering work package progress, not the Highlight Report, which summarises stage and project status for the board. It is tempting because the Team Manager does report progress regularly, and would be the right answer if the question asked who creates Checkpoint Reports.
