Question 1

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?

Options :

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

Answer: C

Question 2

ABC Company has set an overall budget for the Health and Safety Training Project. During stage 3, there was a delay in delivering the 'e-learning course' by the external consultancy and the cost and time tolerance for the work package was exceeded.

Options :

A : Yes, because project cost tolerances are forecast to exceed the limits set out by corporate management

B : Yes, because the delay to the 'e-learning course' has caused the work package time tolerances to be exceeded

C : No, because the external supplier should fund the overspend on the 'planned pilot courses' work package

D : No, because the project board should request an exception plan and reset the tolerances for the remainder of the project

Answer: D
