PRINCE2 Exam PRINCE2-Practitioner Topic 4 Question 64 Discussion

Actual exam question for PRINCE2's PRINCE2-Practitioner exam

Question #: 64
Topic #: 4

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.

Honestly, this question is making my head hurt. I'm just going to go with option A and hope for the best. Raising an exception report seems like the safest bet.

Ha! I bet the project manager is just looking for an excuse to write up a long and dramatic exception report. Option D is the way to go - discuss the team plan with the supplier first.

Yeah, I agree. It's important to communicate and see if the work can still be completed on time.

I'm not sure I agree. Option C seems like a better approach - the project manager should check the operations and maintenance interfaces first before raising an exception report.

Option B makes the most sense to me. Since there is zero time tolerance for this stage, the checkpoint report must be delivered on time, so an exception report is appropriate.

I think option A is the correct answer. The project manager should raise an exception report to get guidance on how to handle the late checkpoint report from the external supplier.
