Question 1

A design workshop was held and the following point was agreed.

In which key document (A-F) should they be recorded as part of the ‘design’ theme?

Choose only ONE document for each item of information. Each document can be used once, more than once, or not at all.

The increase in registered patents will be measured by recording how many have been submitted on a quarterly

and annual basis compared to pre-merger statistics. This will begin once the two R&D teams have been fully

integrated.

Options :

A : Benefits map

B : Benefits profile

C : Design approach

D : Risk register

E : Target operating model

F : Vision statement

Answer: B

Question 2

The Sales Channel and Processes Project is due to deliver the new sales processes within the next week. The programme manager and the BCM have been reviewing the new and revised sales processes with the Sales Manager to make sure that they meet the specified needs of the business before they are implemented.

In which activity of the 'deliver the capabilities' process should this review be carried out?

Options :

A : Manage the tranche

B : Validate the adequacy of programme plans

C : Prepare the business for change and plan transition

D : Prepare for the next process

Answer: D

Question 3

In the programme brief three options were considered:

(1) Keep PCSafe and TechStore as two separate companies

(2) Carry out the merger

(3) Keep the companies separate but with close collaboration

The programme manager is now developing the business case in the 'design the outcomes' process and is reconsidering the options provided, and any new ones that have become apparent as more information is gathered.

Which theme is being applied by the programme manager?

Options :

A : Design

B : Knowledge

C : Structure

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

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 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?

Options :

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
