The project board has asked for highlight reports every six weeks during stage 3. As a result, the project manager has asked each team manager for checkpoint reports every six weeks, in order to collate these into the highlight report. The

team manager for the `marketed courses' is new to team management.

Is this an appropriate action as part of the `controlling a stage' process, and why?

A. Yes, because the project board will need to be updated with the progress of every team.

B. Yes, because checkpoint reports are a time-driven control providing progress information.

C. No, because the frequency of reporting should reflect the level of control required for the work package.

D. No, because the project board should decide on the frequency and content of progress reporting.
