The Louistown City Council operates a well-established and standardized project management framework that includes a defined procedure for developing business cases. For the LouisShopping Project, a 'strategic business case' was included in the project brief submitted to the project board at the conclusion of the
'starting up a project' process. The project has now entered the 'initiating a project' process, during which the full business case is being built upon the strategic business case, which was itself derived from the Council's five-year strategic plan for the 'Louistown is Open for Business' portfolio.
Does this represent an appropriate application of the 'business case' practice, and why?

• A.Yes, because developing the business case from multiple perspectives - strategic, economic, and commercial - ensures a comprehensive and robust justification for the project investment
• B.Yes, because the project should align its approach to business case development with the City Council's established procedure, which serves as the equivalent of PRINCE2's recommended business case lifecycle
• C.No, because the full business case should be developed from an outline business case prepared during the 'starting up a project' process, and using a 'strategic business case' instead is not compliant with the method
• D.No, because responsibility for developing the full business case for each project in the portfolio lies with the portfolio office, not the project team

The risk register states that excavation may cause subsidence and damage nearby historic buildings. The planned response is to survey the buildings and monitor vibration during excavation. The project executive is named as risk owner and the project manager as the sole risk action owner, even though operational specialists will perform the surveys and monitoring.
Is this an appropriate assignment, and why?

• A.No, because the project manager must be both the risk owner and the risk action owner
• B.Yes, because the project executive is sufficiently senior to own the risk and the project manager should coordinate every response action
• C.No, because the owner monitors the risk and the action owner implements the response
• D.Yes, because the project executive should own risks that could affect business justification

During stage 3, the project manager forecasts that the stage-level recycling tolerance will be exceeded. The project manager records the matter in the issue register and sends only an issue report to the project board.
Is this an appropriate application of the progress practice, and why?

• A.No, because the forecast breach should be escalated to the portfolio office rather than the project board
• B.Yes, because the forecast shortfall should be treated only as an off-specification in the issue report
• C.No, because it is an exception which should be escalated in an exception report
• D.Yes, because an issue report is sufficient whenever a sustainability target is forecast to be missed

PROCESSES
During the 'starting up a project' process, the Head of the Portfolio Office explains to the prospective project executive that LouisShopping is strategically important to the LOB portfolio, must support increased business opportunities and is expected to open by the end of financial year three.
During which activity should this clarification of the mandate and business expectations take place?

• A.Select the project approach
• B.Appoint the project executive and manager
• C.Plan the initiation stage
• D.Appoint the project management team

During the 'initiating a project' process, the team expects local heritage-protection groups to oppose the proposal. The Heritage Director suggests waiting until the groups contact the project. Instead, the project manager asks the Heritage Manager to identify groups known from previous work, and the manager supplies a list.
Is this an appropriate approach to leading successful change, and why?

• A.Yes, because the project manager is using existing stakeholder knowledge to identify affected and influential groups proactively
• B.Yes, because identifying a stakeholder guarantees that the stakeholder will support the project and its business case
• C.No, because stakeholder identification should not take place during project initiation
• D.No, because early identification of an opposing group will necessarily increase its opposition
