C.

The correct answer to this question is C. Issue Report.

In PRINCE2 project management methodology, when a change is proposed, it must be formally documented and assessed before it can be approved or rejected. The process of formally documenting and assessing changes is called issue management, and it is a core component of the PRINCE2 project management approach.

When the Project Board instructs the Project Manager to implement a request for change, the change must be documented in an Issue Report. The Issue Report documents the proposed change, including details such as the nature of the change, its impact on the project, the cost and time implications, and the risks associated with the change.

The Issue Report is then submitted to the Project Board for review and approval. If the change is approved, it is then implemented by the Project Manager.

The other options listed in the question are incorrect:

  • A. Checkpoint Report: A Checkpoint Report is a progress report used by the Project Manager to provide the Project Board with a summary of progress to date and to highlight any issues or risks that have arisen.
  • B. Highlight Report: A Highlight Report is also a progress report used by the Project Manager to provide the Project Board with a summary of progress to date, but it focuses on the key issues and risks that are affecting the project.
  • D. Product Status Account: A Product Status Account is a record of the current status of each of the project's products. It is used by the Project Manager to keep track of the progress of each product and to ensure that each product is meeting its requirements.
