Answer analysis

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 assistance such as maintaining the risk log and configuration records, not authoring Checkpoint Reports. It tempts because support staff handle documentation and information management, so report production appears administrative, yet PRINCE2 assigns this to the Team Manager.
✓
Team Manager
Why this is correct
The Team Manager produces Checkpoint Reports at each checkpoint, reporting progress, issues and forecast to the Project Manager. This satisfies the stem's requirement because checkpoint reporting sits within the Managing a Stage Boundary-adjacent team-level monitoring duty, not the Project Manager's or Project Board's remit.
✗
Project Manager
Why it's wrong here
The Project Manager receives Checkpoint Reports from team managers and reviews progress, but does not author them; that is the Team Manager's task. It tempts because the Project Manager owns the Highlight Report and overall delivery accountability, so the reporting duty appears to sit with them.
✗
Senior User
Why it's wrong here
The Senior User represents user interests on the Project Board and specifies requirements; Checkpoint Reports are produced by Team Managers during stage execution. It tempts because Senior Users receive progress information, but their role is board-level direction, not routine team-level reporting.
