PRINCE2 Exam PRINCE2-Practitioner Topic 4 Question 69 Discussion

Actual exam question for PRINCE2's PRINCE2-Practitioner exam

Question #: 69
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.

Haha, maybe the supplier got stuck in traffic on their way to send the report. Either way, the project manager needs to crack the whip and get that report ASAP!

Option D seems too passive. The project manager shouldn't just discuss the plan with the supplier. They need to take action to get the report on time.

I don't think option C is the right approach. The project manager shouldn't be checking interfaces first when a critical report is missing.
