Question 1

The programme is currently in Tranche 2. The COO has been appointed as the SRO and the IT Manager is the programme manager. Due to the SRO’s lack of IT knowledge, the programme manager has found that it is easier to omit reporting about the IT issues as it often worried the SRO, who then created friction with the Process Alignment Project team.

Is this an appropriate application of the 'decisions' theme, and why?

A : Yes, because the programme manager has appropriate skills to ensure that the issues are managed

B : Yes, because reporting should focus on the areas where decisions from the SRO are needed

C : No, because the programme office should record and report on the issues in the issue register

D : No, because the SRO is accountable for ensuring that a culture of reporting truthfully is established

Answer: D

Question 2

The Culture Alignment Project took longer than expected, meaning the Sales Channel and Processes Project was also affected. This delayed the end of the tranche. Therefore, the Estates/Buildings Rationalization Project started late, which delayed the end of Tranche 3. The programme is now in the ‘close the programme’ process, and the programme team is reviewing the overall performance of the programme. The programme office is updating the programme documentation to reflect the final position.

Which theme is MOST relevant to this activity?

A : Assurance

B : Decisions

C : Design

D : Justification

Answer: D

Question 3

The sales personnel from both PCSafe and TechStore have a lot of very important knowledge about the two different markets. This has been gathered over time but has never been formally documented. For the Merger Programme to be successful, it is vital that this knowledge is shared, so that the new PCTech organization is better at competing with its competitors.

Which is MOST LIKELY to encourage knowledge sharing?

A : Document current processes in a common format to determine where there are any points of similarity

B : Hold informal meetings to share stories about what worked well and what worked did not in the past

C : Instruct the Sales Channel and Processes project manager to hold regular progress meetings with sales staff

D : Set up a repository on a shared system where sales personnel can log lessons learned from previous experience

Answer: B

Question 4

The BCM has suggested that the schedule to achieve the increased sales and reduced costs should be integrated with the programme's schedule for delivering the projects. This would create a single view of the programme's work to deliver the new sales processes and channels as well as the increased sales and reduced costs. The programme manager has opposed this, believing it to be an invalid interpretation of the ‘structure’ theme.

Is the programme manager correct, and why?

A : Yes, because the benefits realization plan and delivery plan should remain independent to enable more effective change control.

B : Yes, because it is the BCM’s responsibility to produce the benefits realization plan, and plan for transition effectively.

C : No, because combining the benefits realization plan with the delivery plan should help the BCM prepare more effectively for the changes needed.

D : No, because the BCM should make decisions regarding the benefits realization plan ensuring that transition is aligned to benefits realization.

Answer: C

Question 5

A risk assessment identified that the costs associated with terminating employment in different regions around the world were unpredictable. These cost variations could have a major impact on the profitability of the merger. As a result, the PCTech directors decided to continue with the merger but agreed that contingency should be set up based on industry benchmark data.

Is this an appropriate application of the ‘justification’ theme, and why?

A : Yes, because financial contingency should be included in the budget based on the risks associated with estimates

B : Yes, because the funding approach should identify how financial contingency will be allocated for the programme

C : No, because the sponsoring group members should approve the financial contingency for the programme

D : No, because decisions made by governing bodies should be recorded in the decisions register to provide an audit trail
