Question 1

A work package has been authorized by the project manager for the 'classroom-based training materials' and the 'accredited classroom-based course'. The course developer (team manager) has provided an exception report to the Senior Supplier stating that the time tolerance for the work package will be exceeded and this will cause the stage 2 plan to go into exception. The Senior Supplier has instructed the course developer to produce an exception plan. Is this an appropriate application of the 'controlling a stage process', and why?

Options :

A : Yes, because the project board is responsible for authorizing the production of an exception plan in response to an exception report

B : Yes, because the course developer has escalated the issue to the senior supplier as part of the 'escalate issues and risk' activity

C : No, because the course developer should have delivered the exception report to the project manager not the senior supplier

D : No, because the course developer should have raised the issue with the project manager as part of the 'execute a work package' activity

Answer: D

Question 4

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 5

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.
