A project manager is controlling a stage where the team is co-located and communicates daily. The project manager is considering whether to hold formal checkpoint meetings or rely on daily stand-ups. According to PRINCE2, what is the key consideration when deciding on the format of checkpoint reports?

The frequency and format should be tailored to the project's needs while still providing the project manager with sufficient information to monitor progress.

Checkpoint reports should be produced weekly regardless of the project's needs.

Checkpoint reports must be formal written documents to ensure accountability.

Checkpoint reports are only needed if there are issues or risks to report.

Which activity in 'Controlling a Stage' is most likely to be tailored for a project with a very short stage duration?

Holding formal checkpoint meetings

In a project, the project board has delegated the authority to approve work package changes to the project manager. The project manager is now responsible for approving changes that are within stage tolerances. According to PRINCE2, is this an effective tailoring of roles in controlling a stage?

Yes, but only if the project manager also escalates all changes to the project board for information.

No, because the project manager does not have the authority to approve changes in PRINCE2.

Yes, because the project board can delegate authority for decisions within tolerances to the project manager.

No, because the project board must approve all changes to work packages.
