Question 1

ABC Company has a standard course development model with four defined stages that the company manages using PRINCE2. The project manager for the Health and Safety Training Project has recommended the stage 2 of the standard model be split into two separate stages. As a result, there will now be five management stages in the project. Is this an appropriate application of the ‘tailor to suit the project’ principle, and why?

Options :

A : Yes, because the project manager can adapt or combine PRINCE2 process to suit the project

B : Yes, because the standard course development structure should be tailored to suit the project.

C : No, because a simple project should have no more than two management stages.

D : No, because the standard course development structure should be applied to the project.

Answer: B

Question 2

During the 'create the project plan' activity as part of the initiation stage, the project manager identifies several threats to the project timescales. These threats relate to stage 3 products. Therefore, the project manager decides to wait until the end of stage 2 to assess the risks to the project plan. Is this an appropriate application of the plans theme, and why?

Options :

A : Yes, because detailed planning of stage 3 should take place after completion of the stage 2 products

B : Yes, because risk planning should take place in the stage plan before the risks occur, not in the project plan

C : No, because the risks inherent in the project plan should be assessed, and the plan modified to manage them.

D : No, because the risk actions to manage project-level threats should be recorded in the risk register

Answer: C

Question 3

The 'e-learning course' is being delivered by an external consultancy. The testing of the e-learning has been completed by ABC Company’s testers and some faults have been found that still need to be fixed. The team manager for the 'e-learning course' work package believes the faults can be fixed within existing work package tolerances and has raised a request for change with the project manager. Is this an appropriate action, and why?

Options :

A : Yes, because the testers have authority to request changes to the way the e-learning works

B : Yes, because team managers should raise issues to the project manager for capture and analyse

C : No, because the team manager should raise an off-specification for the faults, rather than a request for change

D : No, because the faults can be fixed within existing work package tolerances and do not need to be recorded

Answer: C
