Question 1

When planning the project during the initiation stage, the project manager recommended that there should be a stage boundary before starting work on the e-learning course. This would allow the project board to approve the 'accredited classroom-based course', and understand its impact on the sales before work on the e-learning course begins. Which reason explains why this is a good application of the 'manage by stages' principle?

Options :

A : Every PRINCE2 project must have at least two management stages, including the initiation stage

B : Stage boundaries are decision points allowing the opportunity for the project-s viability to be assessed

C : The project needs to be properly initiated before work starts on delivery of the e-learning course

D : The project manager should be able to manage the project on a day-to-day basis during the project

Answer: B

Question 2

The executive identified that there would be a benefit to the construction companies as their working time lost due to accidents would be reduced. This was included as a benefit to ABC Company in the business case for the Health and Safety Training Project. Is this appropriate, and why?

Options :

A : Yes, because the benefits to the customer are an essential part of business justification for a project.

B : Yes, because both tangible and intangible benefits should be included in the business case.

C : No, because ABC Company will not achieve their benefits if construction companies do not book the courses

D : No, because it is the customer’s benefits that should be used to justify the project business case.

Answer: A

Question 3

Which 2 statements should be recorded under the Business options heading?

Options :

A : The re-engineering of selected business functions would not provide the required outcome

B : The lack of up-to-date technology in MFH means a re-engineering of existing services will not necessarily deliver the performance improvements required.

C : Use external consultants to provide guidance on the detailed design of the outsourced services.

D : Set up a PRINCE2 project to deliver the outsourced services

E : Review a list of service providers to determine a short-list of possible service providers.

Answer: C,D

Question 4

While planning the initiation stage, the Project Manager reviewed some threats that had been recorded in the Daily Log. Which threat should have been assessed for possible risk responses to be included in the Initiation Stage Plan?

Options :

A : MFH has no experience in outsourcing and this may affect understanding of what is required, resulting in inadequate plans and strategies

B : The Project Brief is a complex document and may not be approved by the Executive.

C : There is a shortage of service providers so there is a possibility that no suitable service providers respond to the request for proposals. This would prevent the Outsourcing project from proceeding.

Answer: C

Question 5

During previous projects, stakeholders became confused when using a number of separate project registers. Therefore, when preparing the risk management approach, the project manager created a risk register template and added it to an integrated project register. This register is a spreadsheet that includes project assumptions, issues, dependencies, and now risks, on separate pages. Is this appropriate for a risk register, and why?

Options :

A : Yes, because the project registers should be tailored to meet the needs of the organization

B : Yes, because risks are often identified as a result of issues being raised.

C : No, because an integrated project register should include the quality register as well.

D : No, because assumptions and dependencies are sources of risk.
