How does the ‘managing product delivery’ process achieve its purpose?

The purpose of the ‘managing product delivery’ process is to control the link between the project manager and the team manager. This is achieved by the project manager issuing formal requirements for the work in a work package. The team manager then accepts this work package, formally agreeing to the requirements for how the work should be undertaken, including constraints, quality criteria, and reporting arrangements, before executing the work and delivering the products.

B. Highlight reports are created by the project manager for the project board during the ‘controlling a stage’ process, not by the team manager in ‘managing product delivery’.
C. The team manager, not the project manager, is responsible for producing a team plan if one is required. The project manager monitors progress against the stage plan.
D. The project manager escalates issues and risks that are forecast to exceed stage tolerance to the project board. This occurs within the ‘controlling a stage’ process.
