Correct Answer: The Risk Register

In PRINCE2, the Risk Register is the specific document used to record all identified threats and opportunities during project planning and throughout the project lifecycle. The Risk Register serves as a central repository that tracks identified risks, their analysis, owners, responses, and current status. The Planning Log is not a standard PRINCE2 document and does not specifically relate to risk management. The Project Scope Document (or Project Product Description in PRINCE2 terminology) defines what the project will deliver, the acceptance criteria, and project boundaries, but it is not used to record risks. The Configuration Management Strategy describes how project products will be controlled and protected, focusing on version control and change management rather than risks.

Correct Answer: Project Manager

In PRINCE2, the Project Manager has the primary responsibility for creating the Project Plan. This is one of the key responsibilities of the Project Manager role as they are responsible for day-to-day management of the project and planning is a core part of this function. The Project Board is responsible for providing direction and making key decisions, but they approve rather than create the Project Plan. Team Managers are responsible for creating Team Plans, which are at a more detailed level than the Project Plan and focus on the delivery of products assigned to their team. Project Assurance provides an independent check that the project is being conducted properly and that products meet requirements, but they do not create plans.

Correct Answer: At the end of the current stage as input to the stage boundary review

In PRINCE2, the End Stage Report is created at the end of the current management stage as an input to the stage boundary review. This report summarizes the performance of the stage that is ending, including what was achieved, any deviations from plans, and lessons learned. It provides the Project Board with the information needed to assess the completed stage and make decisions about whether to proceed with the next stage. The other answers are incorrect because: - The End Stage Report is not created at the beginning of each stage. At that point, the Stage Plan would be used to set performance targets. - It is not created midway through each stage. During a stage, progress is tracked using Checkpoint Reports and Highlight Reports. - It is not created after the Project Board approves the next stage. The End Stage Report must be available before this decision is made, as it informs the decision-making process.
