- A
The Highlight Report is sent from the Project Manager to the Project Board
The Highlight Report provides the Project Board with a summary of stage progress at regular intervals.
- B
The Lessons Report is created at the end of each stage
Why wrong: The Lessons Report is created at the end of the project (or at stage boundaries if appropriate), but not as a routine end-of-stage report.
- C
The End Project Report is used to evaluate the project's performance against the Project Initiation Documentation
The End Project Report reviews project performance and confirms handover of products.
- D
The Exception Report is produced by the Project Board
Why wrong: The Exception Report is produced by the Project Manager when tolerances are forecast to be exceeded.
- E
The Checkpoint Report is produced by the Team Manager for the Project Manager
Checkpoint Reports provide detailed progress information on work packages.
Quick Answer
The correct answer is that the Checkpoint Report is produced by the Team Manager for the Project Manager. This is true because PRINCE2 defines progress control reports as a layered communication system: the Team Manager reports detailed progress to the Project Manager via the Checkpoint Report, while the Project Manager sends a summarized Highlight Report to the Project Board, and the End Project Report evaluates overall performance against the Project Initiation Documentation. On the PRINCE2 Foundation exam, this question tests your understanding of who reports to whom within the management levels, and a common trap is confusing the Exception Report—which is actually produced by the Project Manager, not the Board—or mistaking the Lessons Report as a stage boundary document when it is created at project closure. To remember the flow, think of the reporting hierarchy: Team Manager to Project Manager (Checkpoint), Project Manager to Board (Highlight), and Project Manager to Board at closure (End Project). A useful mnemonic is “T-M-P-B” for the direction of progress information: Team to Manager, Manager to Board.
PRINCE2F PRINCE2 Practices Practice Question

Which THREE of the following are true about the PRINCE2 progress control approach?
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
The Highlight Report is sent from the Project Manager to the Project Board
Options B, C, and E are correct. The Highlight Report is sent from the PM to the Project Board. The Checkpoint Report is from the Team Manager to the PM. The End Project Report is used to evaluate project performance against the PID. Option A is false: the Exception Report is produced by the PM, not the Project Board. Option D is false: the Lessons Report is created at the end of the project, not during stage boundaries.
Key principle: Answer the scenario, not the keyword: identify the specific constraint before choosing the most familiar-sounding option.

Common exam traps
Common exam trap: answer the scenario, not the keyword
Many certification questions include familiar terms but test a specific constraint. Read the exact wording before choosing an answer that is generally true but wrong for this case.
Detailed technical explanation
How to think about this question
This question should be treated as a scenario, not a definition check. Identify the problem, the constraint and the best action. Then compare each option against those facts.
KKey Concepts to Remember
- Read the scenario before looking for a memorised answer.
- Find the constraint that changes the correct option.
- Eliminate answers that are true in general but not in this case.
- Use explanations to understand the rule behind the answer.
TExam Day Tips
- Underline the problem statement mentally.
- Watch for words such as best, first, most likely and least administrative effort.
- Review why wrong options are wrong, not only why the correct option is correct.
Key takeaway
Answer the scenario, not the keyword: identify the specific constraint before choosing the most familiar-sounding option.
Real-world example
How this comes up in practice
A practitioner preparing for the PRINCE2F exam encounters this exact type of scenario on the job. The correct answer here is not the most general option — it is the best answer for the specific constraint described. Answer the scenario, not the keyword: identify the specific constraint before choosing the most familiar-sounding option. Real exam questions reward reading the full scenario before eliminating options, because the constraint defines which answer fits.
