Reports to the Project Manager on progress
Why this is correct
Within the PRINCE2 organisational structure, the Team Manager is accountable for delivering the work package assigned by the Project Manager, and the formal mechanism for reporting progress is through the Checkpoint Report, which is submitted to the Project Manager at intervals defined in the Work Package. This satisfies the stem’s requirement for a true statement about the Team Manager’s role, as the reporting line is a direct, mandatory control in the PRINCE2 management framework.
