Question 1

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.

A : Assurance

B : Decisions

C : Design

D : Justification

Answer: D

Question 4

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?

Options :

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
