Question 1

ABC Company has decided to include the Health and Safety Training Project in a programme to support their
strategy to deliver globally. The programme team has provided the detailed business justification and, as a
result, the project board has decided that the business case will not need refining further during the 'initiating a
project' process.
Is this an appropriate action for the project board, and why?
  • Question 2

    This question provides a number of changes which may or may not be required to the Extract from the Communication Management Strategy provided in the additional information.
    Which statement applies to the Stakeholder analysis: Interested parties section?
  • Question 3

    The project is using PRINCE2's recommended risk management procedure. In the 'identify' step, a risk was recorded in the risk register: ''If the 'accredited classroom-based course' is delayed, there is a threat that work on the 'e-learning course' will be delayed, resulting in the 'accredited e-learning course' not being ready for the
    'pilot courses'.''
    In the 'implement' step, a risk response was decided: ''Work will start incrementally on the 'e-learning course' whenever a part of the 'classroom-based training materials' gains accreditation''.
    Is this appropriate, and why?
  • Question 4

    The chair of a quality review meeting advised the Team Manager that, because there were so many major issues, the product had been rejected. The presenter estimated that the corrections would take about two weeks. The re-assessment of the product will take a further week, resulting in a three-week delay. The Work Package only has one week tolerance.
    Which 2 actions should the Team Manager take in response to this situation?
