List of those receiving the report, their positions and role in the project
An exception report is produced when a stage plan or project plan is forecast to exceed tolerance levels set. It is prepared by the project manager to inform the project board or the executive committee of the situation, and to offer options and recommendations for the way to proceed. (Managing Successful Projects with PRINCE2, 2017, Section A.10).
An exception report is event driven and is compiled by the project manager as soon as tolerances are to be exceeded. This report is to follow the PRINCE2 (2017) format for the exception reports.
Please find a real issue (cost-overrun, behind-schedule etc.) from the case study (Sydney WestConnex project) provided on Moodle and complete this exception report template.
Provide the motivation to compile and raise the exception report to the project board along with appropriate reasons for your decision.
Complete the report with all relevant and necessary information as per Appendix A.10 in the Managing Successful with RINCE2 (2017). Carefully study the derivation (inputs), format and presentation and quality criteria sections.
Describe the possible consequences in the context of the case study (project), its stakeholders’ expectations, and challenges.
Consequences of the deviation
What the implications are if the deviation is not addressed for:
the project
the corporate, programme management and the customer
What 2-3 options are available to address the deviation (exception) and the effect of each option on the business case, risks, and tolerances.
Of the available options, which one is recommended, and why?
What lessons can be learnt from this exception which might potentially be beneficial for this project or future project?
