PRINCE2 groups management products into which three types?

  • a.Baselines, records and reports✓
  • b.Plans, risks and issues
  • c.Mandates, briefs and charters

During a stage, which report does the Project Manager use to keep the Project Board informed of progress at an agreed frequency?

  • a.Checkpoint report
  • b.Exception report

The highlight report is sent by the Project Manager to the Project Board at a frequency they agree, summarizing stage progress. A checkpoint report, by contrast, flows from a Team Manager to the Project Manager.

Management Products & Tailoring

What does the principle 'tailor to suit the project' require a team to consider?

  • a.Delegating all tailoring decisions to the supplier organization
  • b.Removing any principles that seem inconvenient for the project
  • c.Adapting the method to the project's context, such as its scale, complexity and risk✓
  • d.Applying the method identically on every project for consistency

Tailoring adapts PRINCE2 to the environment, size, complexity, importance, team capability and risk of the project, while still applying all seven principles. It is not an excuse to drop principles.
