PRINCE2 Foundation — Question 273

Which are purposes of a highlight report?
1. To escalate a tolerance deviation to the project board
2. To provide a summary of stage status to the project board
3. To allow the project board to monitor project progress
4. To update the project manager on the progress of a work package

Answer options

• A. 1 and 2
• B. 2 and 3
• C. 3 and 4
• D. 1 and 4

Correct answer: B

Explanation

A highlight report serves primarily to summarize the status of a stage for the project board and enables them to monitor the project's progress. Options A, C, and D include elements that are not the main purposes of a highlight report, such as updating the project manager or escalating tolerance deviations, which are not its core functions.
