Question 4

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. This led to additional costs in running the 'planned pilot courses'. Therefore, the project cost will exceed the agreed overall project budget, so the project board requested additional funding from ABC Company’s board of directors. Is this an appropriate action, and why?

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

Question 5

A work package has been authorized by the project manager for the 'classroom-based training materials' and the 'accredited classroom-based course'. The course developer (team manager) has provided an exception report to the Senior Supplier stating that the time tolerance for the work package will be exceeded and this will cause the stage 2 plan to go into exception. The Senior Supplier has instructed the course developer to produce an exception plan. Is this an appropriate application of the 'controlling a stage process', and why?

Options :

A : Yes, because the project board is responsible for authorizing the production of an exception plan in response to an exception report

B : Yes, because the course developer has escalated the issue to the senior supplier as part of the 'escalate issues and risk' activity

C : No, because the course developer should have delivered the exception report to the project manager not the senior supplier

D : No, because the course developer should have raised the issue with the project manager as part of the 'execute a work package' activity
