Question 2

The programme is currently in Tranche 2. The COO has been appointed as the SRO and the IT Manager is the programme manager. Due to the SRO’s lack of IT knowledge, the programme manager has found that it is easier to omit reporting about the IT issues as it often worried the SRO, who then created friction with the Process Alignment Project team.

Is this an appropriate application of the 'decisions' theme, and why?

Options :

A : Yes, because the programme manager has appropriate skills to ensure that the issues are managed

B : Yes, because reporting should focus on the areas where decisions from the SRO are needed

C : No, because the programme office should record and report on the issues in the issue register

D : No, because the SRO is accountable for ensuring that a culture of reporting truthfully is established

Answer: D

Question 4

The BCM has suggested that the schedule to achieve the increased sales and reduced costs should be integrated with the programme's schedule for delivering the projects. This would create a single view of the programme's work to deliver the new sales processes and channels as well as the increased sales and reduced costs. The programme manager has opposed this, believing it to be an invalid interpretation of the ‘structure’ theme.

Is the programme manager correct, and why?

Options :

A : Yes, because the benefits realization plan and delivery plan should remain independent to enable more effective change control.

B : Yes, because it is the BCM’s responsibility to produce the benefits realization plan, and plan for transition effectively.

C : No, because combining the benefits realization plan with the delivery plan should help the BCM prepare more effectively for the changes needed.

D : No, because the BCM should make decisions regarding the benefits realization plan ensuring that transition is aligned to benefits realization.

Answer: C
