PRINCE2 Practitioner 6th Edition — Question 11

After preparing the stage 3 plan, the project manager left the company. The project board has decided that, as the stage plan has been agreed, it will not appoint a project manager for stage 3. The team managers will report directly to the project board and will prepare highlight reports instead of checkpoint reports.
Is this an appropriate tailoring of the roles in the 'managing a stage boundary' process?

Answer options

• A. Yes, because work may be delegated to those with the necessary skills, such as a team manager.
• B. Yes, because the team managers should have the information required to prepare highlight reports.
• C. No, because the reporting in the 'controlling a stage' process should not be changed.
• D. No, because the team managers should not share the responsibilities of the project manager.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A, as delegating tasks to team managers who have the required skills is an effective approach. Options B and C are incorrect because while team managers may have the information, altering the reporting structure can be beneficial. Option D is also incorrect because team managers can take on certain responsibilities without fully replacing the project manager.
