PRINCE2F PRINCE2 Processes Practice Question
Who is responsible for producing the Highlight Report during the Controlling a Stage process?
⚠ Common exam trap
Candidates often confuse the Highlight Report with the Checkpoint Report, assuming the Team Manager produces both, but PRINCE2 clearly separates these: the Team Manager produces Checkpoint Reports for the Project Manager, while the Project Manager produces the Highlight Report for the Project Board.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
Project Manager
The Project Manager is responsible for producing the Highlight Report during the Controlling a Stage process because this report provides the Project Board with a summary of the stage's progress, including achievements, next steps, and any issues or risks. PRINCE2 explicitly assigns this responsibility to the Project Manager to ensure the board receives timely and accurate information for decision-making.
