PRINCE2F PRINCE2 Practices Practice Question

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 Board

  Why this is correct

  The Project Board needs Highlight Reports to monitor progress, compare actuals against the plan, and make informed decisions at stage boundaries. This satisfies the PRINCE2 principle of defined roles and responsibilities, ensuring the board maintains oversight without requiring detailed Checkpoint Reports, which are reserved for the Team Manager.

• ✗

  Senior Supplier

  Why it's wrong here

  Highlight Reports go to the Project Board, not the Senior Supplier, who is a Project Board member receiving them collectively. The Senior Supplier is tempting because they provide supplier resources and attend Project Board meetings, but reporting flows to the Board as a whole, not to that role individually.

• ✗

  Project Support

  Why it's wrong here

  Project Support provides administrative and specialist assistance to the Project Manager, such as maintaining the risk log and configuration management. Highlight Reports are produced by the Project Manager and sent to the Project Board, not to Project Support.

• ✗

  Team Manager

  Why it's wrong here

  Highlight Reports flow from the Project Manager to the Project Board, so a Team Manager is not a recipient. The Team Manager receives Checkpoint Reports from team members and escalates via the Project Manager. It would be tempting if the question concerned who supplies progress information upward within a work package, where the Team Manager is central.
