Exam PRINCE2-Practitioner topic 10 question 21 discussion

Rectified my previous answer. Option D is correct as the Project manager needs to discuss this with team manager.

The appropriate answer to the question is A, "Yes, because an exception report should be used to request guidance on how this situation should be handled." An exception report is a document that highlights any issues or concerns that may impact the project's success. It is used to notify the project board and seek guidance on how to handle the situation. B is NOT the correct answer as zero tolerance means product should be delivered on time not the checkpoint report. D is NOT the correct answer as Project manager is not supposed to check the team plan from a external supplier.

A As there is zero time tolerance for this stage, the checkpoint report must be delivered on time. Therefore, the project manager should raise an exception report to request guidance on how this situation should be handled

Figure 15.5 shows the inputs to, and outputs from, this activity. PRINCE2 recommends the following actions: •In response to informal requests for advice and guidance: •seek advice from corporate, programme management or the customer if necessary •assist the project manager as required (this may include asking the project manager to produce an issue report and/or an exception report).

D is correct - because "checkpoint report" is missing "Status is unknown"

Correct answer should be A - page 150: "During execution of a stage plan, if any forecasts indicate that the management stage is likely to exceed the agreed management stage tolerances, then the deviation should be referred to the project board by the project manager in order to get a decision on corrective action. This would be done by raising an issue and an exception report."

I think the question is very confusing. It states that the checkpoint report is late, not that the product delivery is late. The project manager just did not receive information. This is not a situation to raise an exception report. I think D is the correct answer.

I think B i correct. A.10.1
