PRINCE2 Exam PRINCE2-Practitioner Topic 3 Question 67 Discussion

Actual exam question for PRINCE2's PRINCE2-Practitioner exam

Question #: 67
Topic #: 3

The project is in stage 3. Zero time tolerance has been given for this stage. When checking progress, the project manager noticed that the checkpoint report from the external supplier of the 'e-learning course' is late. As work package progress information is missing, the project manager has decided to raise an exception report.

Is this an appropriate action, and why?

AYes, because an exception report should be used to request guidance on how this situation should be handled.

BYes, because there is zero time tolerance for this stage the checkpoint report must be delivered on time.

CNo, because the project manager should check the operations and maintenance interfaces in the work package first.

DNo, because the team plan should be discussed with the supplier to check whether work will be completed on time.

Option C is a bit odd. Why would the project manager check the operations and maintenance interfaces first? That seems like a waste of time when the real issue is the late checkpoint report.

Ha! The project manager is in a real pickle here. Raising an exception report is the way to go, but I bet they're wishing they had a time machine to turn back the clock and get that report on time.

I'm not so sure about that. I'd go with option D - the project manager should discuss the team plan with the supplier to see if the work will still be completed on time.

I think B is the right answer. With zero time tolerance, the checkpoint report has to be delivered on time, no exceptions.
