PRINCE2F PRINCE2 Processes Practice Question
Who is responsible for producing the Highlight Report?
⚠ Common exam trap
Test-takers frequently confuse the Highlight Report with the Checkpoint Report, incorrectly assigning the Highlight Report to the Team Manager, but PRINCE2 clearly distinguishes that the Team Manager produces Checkpoint Reports while the Project Manager produces Highlight Reports.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
The Project Manager
The Project Manager is responsible for producing the Highlight Report in PRINCE2. This report provides the Project Board with a summary of progress against the stage plan, including achievements, next steps, and any issues or risks. It is a key management product defined in the PRINCE2 manual, and its production is a specific responsibility of the Project Manager, not delegated to the Team Manager or others.
