A change authority has been appointed for the project. During the development of the 'classroom-based training material', a large number of changes were proposed to the design of the 'e-learning course'. Therefore, the change authority has decided to use the Moscow technique to prioritize changes based on the impact they will have on completing each stage on time.
Is this an appropriate application of the Moscow technique, and why?
A. Yes, because it should be used to prioritize change based on the estimated impact on time.
B. Yes, because it is a prioritization technique that should be used to prioritize a product's quality criteria.
C. No, because it should define scope tolerances, supporting the management by exception principle.
D. No, because it should be used to prioritize change based on the project's business justification.
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?
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.
ABC has experience of delivering training projects that respond to new legislation. Previous projects have had to change the acceptance criteria, due to further updates being made to legislation during the project. What action should be taken to address this, and why?
A. Agree and prioritize the acceptance criteria during the initiation stage, because these criteria will be used to determine if the project can be closed.
B. Agree and prioritize the acceptance criteria during the initiation stage, because they can be amended through change control, if needed.
C. Set the quality tolerances for the acceptance criteria in the product descriptions, because this would allow for additional changes in legislation.
D. Set the quality tolerances for the acceptance criteria in the product descriptions, because quality tolerances define the acceptable range.
The project is part of a program to develop more training courses that respond to new legislation. The project manager has requested that project support be made available from the program. As a result, the executive has confirmed that this will be carried out by the program office.
Is this appropriate, and why?
A. Yes, because the program office should provide support to projects, if requested.
B. Yes, because the project support role is not optional and must be provided.
C. No, because the project manager should take on project support responsibilities.
D. No, because program and project team structures need to be separate.
As a result of experiences on previous projects, a change authority has been established for the Health and Safety Training Project. A key client for the training materials has a representative on the project board. Should their interests be represented within the change authority for the project, and why?
A. Yes, because this will give them a better understanding of the training materials.
B. Yes, because a change authority should consider external stakeholder needs.
C. No, because the change authority should be internal to the ABC organization.
D. No, because their project board member will be able to agree any required changes.
At the end of stage 2, an external consultant responsible for developing the 'e-learning course', was appointed to the project board as a senior supplier. The stage 3 plan identifies the consultant as a reviewer of the 'e-learning course'. When preparing for a quality review of the 'e-learning course', the consultant found 15 possible errors. The consultant then documented these possible errors in the quality register.
Is this an appropriate activity when preparing for a quality review, and why?
A. Yes, because each team manager should update the quality register as quality review activities are completed.
B. Yes, because the quality reviewers should update the quality register as quality review activities are completed.
C. No, because possible errors that are found when preparing for a quality review should be documented on a question list.
D. No, because the senior supplier should not be identified as a reviewer as part of the quality review technique.
During stage 3, the project scope was extended to include a practice test for learners to take during the training course. The cost of this test will be included in the cost of the course. The change to project scope was approved and the cost of ?,500 was paid for from the change budget. The project manager documented an increase of ?,500 in the project budget in the business case.
Is this an appropriate action, and why?
A. Yes, because the justification for the project should be recalculated based on the revised project budget.
B. Yes, because the project manager determines which costs need to be updated at the end of each stage
C. No, because the use of the change budget means that the project budget does not need to be increased.
D. No, because changes to operational costs post-project should have been included in the business case.
