Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Executive
Why it's wrong here
The Executive owns the business case and chairs the Project Board, receiving Highlight Reports rather than authoring them. Producing them is the Project Manager's responsibility. The Executive role is tempting because it is accountable for project success, but accountability for outcomes differs from the operational task of compiling the report.
- ✓
Project Manager
Why this is correct
The Project Manager produces Highlight Reports to keep the Project Board informed of stage progress, status, issues and risks at agreed intervals. This satisfies the stem's requirement, since the Project Manager owns stage-level monitoring and control reporting.
- ✗
Team Manager
Why it's wrong here
The Team Manager produces Checkpoint Reports covering team-level progress, not Highlight Reports. Highlight Reports are the Project Manager's periodic summary to the Project Board. The Team Manager role is tempting because it also reports progress, but its reporting line runs upward to the Project Manager, not the Board.
- ✗
Project Support
Why it's wrong here
Project Support provides administrative assistance such as maintaining logs and configuration records, not the periodic progress summary sent to the Project Board. Highlight Reports are authored by the Project Manager. Project Support is tempting because it handles documentation, but producing management reports for the Board sits outside its remit.
