Sure, I'd be happy to provide a detailed explanation of the two actions that the Team Manager should take to check that the completed hardware and software solution has been approved as required.

  1. Check the Work Package to ascertain who should approve the completed Work Package:

The Work Package is a key document in PRINCE2, which provides a detailed description of the work to be carried out, including the products to be created, the quality criteria to be met, the resources required, and the timescales for completion. One of the key aspects of the Work Package is that it should define who is responsible for approving the completed products. Therefore, the Team Manager should first check the Work Package to ascertain who should have approved the completed Work Package. If the approval records are missing or incomplete, the Team Manager should follow up with the relevant stakeholders to ensure that the products have been approved as required.

  1. Check the Configuration Management Strategy for product handover procedures:

The Configuration Management Strategy is another key document in PRINCE2, which provides a framework for managing and controlling the project's products. The Configuration Management Strategy should define the procedures for handing over the completed products to the relevant stakeholders, including the approval process. Therefore, the Team Manager should check the Configuration Management Strategy for product handover procedures to ensure that the completed products have been approved as required. If the procedures are not defined or are incomplete, the Team Manager should follow up with the relevant stakeholders to ensure that the products have been approved as required.

In summary, the two actions that the Team Manager should take to check that the completed hardware and software solution has been approved as required are to check the Work Package for approval records and to check the Configuration Management Strategy for product handover procedures. These actions will help to ensure that the completed products have been approved by the appropriate people and that they are ready for use by the end-users.
