PRINCE2F PRINCE2 Processes Practice Question
Who is responsible for producing the Lessons Report at the end of the project?
⚠ Common exam trap
Watch out — candidates often confuse the responsibility for producing the Lessons Report with the responsibility for approving it or providing input, leading them to incorrectly select the Project Board or Senior User.

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
✓
Project Manager
The Project Manager is responsible for producing the Lessons Report at the end of the project. This is because the Project Manager owns the day-to-day management of the project and is best positioned to capture and document lessons learned from the project's execution, ensuring that knowledge is transferred for future projects.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
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 and tooling assistance, such as maintaining the lessons log, but does not own the Lessons Report. It is tempting because support staff often draft documentation, yet PRINCE2 assigns accountability for producing this end-of-project management product to the Project Manager.
- ✗
Project Board
Why it's wrong here
The Project Board authorises the project and approves management products; it does not produce the Lessons Report. It is tempting because the Board reviews lessons and ensures they are passed on, but PRINCE2 places responsibility for creating the report with the Project Manager, who then submits it for approval.
- ✓
Project Manager
Why this is correct
The Project Manager produces the Lessons Report at the end of the project, as PRINCE2 assigns this responsibility to the role managing closure activities. This satisfies the stem's requirement for the end-of-project report, distinct from the Lessons Log, which is maintained throughout and reviewed at each stage boundary.
- ✗
Senior User
Why it's wrong here
The Senior User represents user interests and specifies requirements; the Lessons Report is a management product owned by the Project Manager. It is tempting because Senior Users contribute lessons from their business area, but accountability for compiling and logging lessons at project end sits with the Project Manager, not this role.
