Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
Producing Highlight Reports
Why this is correct
Producing Highlight Reports is a direct responsibility of the Project Manager under PRINCE2’s management-by-exception principle, as the PM must provide the Project Board with regular, exception-based progress updates. This satisfies the constraint that the PM owns all day-to-day reporting activities, ensuring the Board receives timely summaries of stage status, risks, and deviations without being involved in operational details.
- ✗
Performing Project Assurance
Why it's wrong here
Project Assurance is independent and not done by the PM.
- ✓
Day-to-day management of the project
Why this is correct
This is a core PM responsibility.
- ✗
Chairing the Project Board
Why it's wrong here
The Executive chairs the board.
- ✓
Maintaining the Business Case
Why this is correct
The PM maintains the Business Case under the Executive's direction.
