Question 1
Project Scenario – Health and Safety Training Project:
ABC Company is a well-established training company that uses a standard model to develop training materials and deliver courses to customers.
ABC Company has commissioned a project in response to recent changes in government legislation relating to health and safety on construction sites. The project will deliver “capability to provide health and safety training”, including the materials needed for classroom-based training and e-learning.

The e-learning course will be developed by a specialist external consultancy. The materials for classroom-based training will be delivered by ABC Company’s development team. All course materials will be piloted before they are used. ABC Company will deliver training to its customers and also hopes to sell the course materials to other training companies as part of their operational business. ABC Company will use their own sales and marketing departments to promote the courses.
The legislation requires construction companies to comply with the new legislation within two years. The course materials and trainers have to be accredited by a government agency before courses can be delivered. ABC Company is planning to deliver pilot courses within five months of starting the project.

- Yes, because a business case can be developed when the scope of the project has been more fully defined

Is this appropriate, and why?
- Yes, because the program office should provide support to projects, if requested.
- Yes, because the project support role is not optional and must be provided.
- No, because the project manager should take on project support responsibilities.

The project is at the start of stage 3, and there will be six teams working on product delivery. In order to exercise control, the project manager has asked each team to submit a detailed team plan for approval. The external team manager for the ‘e-learning course’ has agreed to submit a summary to the project manager, but will submit the detailed team plan to the senior supplier to review and approve.
Is the team manager’s response appropriate, and why?
- Yes, because a supplier may want to keep the details of the specialist work confidential.
- Yes, because team plans are mandatory on a project of this size and complexity.
- No, because the project manager needs detailed plans to manage the work of several teams.
- No, because the team plan must be submitted to project assurance to check it is viable.
Correct answer: A
Question 7
The project is in stage 5, and the project manager is demobilizing the project. The new biofuel system was installed correctly in stage 3 and fully tested in stage 4. However, the operations team is not sure whether it will function as planned long-term and deliver the City's sustainability targets.
In which activity of the ‘closing a project’ process should the project manager address this concern, and why?
- ‘Confirm project acceptance’, because the benefits management approach should include post-project benefits reviews of the project in operational use
- ‘Confirm project acceptance’, because follow-on action recommendations should be prepared for any uncompleted work and risks to the project product
- ‘Evaluate the project’, because the project manager should compare actual progress metrics against the original estimates for the project
- ‘Evaluate the project’, because the project manager should identify lessons that could be applied to future projects to be included in the lessons report
Correct answer: A
Question 8
The demobilization of staff and equipment is now complete and the project manager has reviewed the time, cost and scope of the project and notified the project board that the project was completed successfully. The project manager has recommended to the project board that the project board should host an informal event to recognize the hard work and determination of the project team in delivering the project. The project board has agreed with this recommendation and has asked the project manager to organize the event.
Which role should be informed that the project board has approved this event?
- Business
- Project executive
- Senior supplier
- Project assurance
Correct answer: D
Question 9
The project is in the ‘initiating a project’ process. The BuildyBrick team manager has now produced more detailed estimates for each of the remaining four stages and advised the project manager of the additional time and cost needed to deliver the project. The project manager needs to use this information to advise the project board of the additional cost and whether the project is still justified before requesting project authorization.
Which role should be informed about the updated business justification?
- Business layer
- BuildyBrick team manager
- Project assurance
- Project support
Correct answer: C
Question 10
The project team has been demobilized and the shopping centre is now open. The Business Opportunities Director is concerned that shopping centre has not increased the opportunities for businesses in LouisTown. The Director has asked for a survey of local businesses to be undertaken, to confirm whether more opportunities exist and whether more new businesses have started in LoulsTown as a direct result of the project.
Which principle is being applied, and why?
- Ensure continued business justification, because there should be checks to ensure that the benefits have been achieved after the project has closed
- Ensure continued business justification, because the project executive should ensure the expected benefits are realized as a result of the project
- Manage by exception, because the senior user's forecast that the benefits tolerance will be breached should be escalated
- Manage by exception, because the project board should decide whether more work is needed to achieve the benefit
Correct answer: A
Question 11
During the 'starting up a project process', the project manager discusses the standard model for course development with the executive. The project manager then assesses how the Health and Safety Training Project will be delivered, including what products should be delivered in each stage.
Is this an appropriate way to carry out the 'plan the initiation stage' activity, and why?
- Yes, because the work of the initiation stage needs to be planned and approved, in the same way as other project work.
- Yes, because the management controls for the initiation stage need to be defined and approved by the project board.
- No, because subsequent stages are planned in the initiation stage as part of creating the project plan.
- No, because the senior supplier is responsible for assessing the viability of the project approach.
