Question 1

The SIAM Project Board has decided that a big bang implementation approach is unsuitable for ZYX What is the most likely reason for this decision?

Options :

A : Agile methods cannot be applied to a big bang implementation approach.

B : The current service provider contracts have different termination periods.

C : The service levels must be maintained throughout the entire transition

D : The ZYXUK Directors want to use the approach suggested by SIAMRUS

Answer: B

Question 2

ZYX has now appointed SIAMRUS as the service integrator and has started to plan and build the new SIAM ecosystem Initially the new SIAM model will be supported by the existing service providers. In a recent program progress meeting, it was highlighted that the planned Organizational Change Management (OCM) initiative has a high cost What approach should be taken to ensure that the OCM initiative for the service providers will cost effectively support the transition to SIAM?

Options :

A :

A major predicted cost relates to BANKSCO. Since the introduction of NEWBNK is imminent, the scope of OCM should be reduced by leaving out BANKSCO. This would enable additional funds to be available for the adoption of the ADKAR change model Using this disciplined approach for the transition of all the remaining service providers would ensure a successful and cost-effective transition to the new SIAM model

B :

Exclude OUTSCO as they already have an established approach to service provision and have communication links in place with the other service providers This significantly reduces thescale of the OCM initiative, and therefore helps to control costs Concentrate on ensuring that the other service providers are aware of the changes, and assess their desire for success using liaison with their appointed OCM representatives.

C :

Reduce the scope of the OCM initiative so that the commodity service providers are only made aware of the changes and how they will be affected by them Arrange for all the other service providers to nominate a dedicated OCM representative to ensure effective communication with all the remaining parties involved Undertake specific training in the cross-provider ways of working using Computer Based Training.

D :

The scope of OCM should include all service providers and be based on a recognized change model such as ADKAR The intentions of large established providers including OUTSCO and NETSCO should be fully understood, as there might be potential conflicts of interest which need to be addressed. The OCM activities should be tailored to the characteristics of the service providers.This will assist in controlling costs

Answer: D

Question 3

This new SIAM strategy has now been approved by the NEWGEN Executive Steering Board. What is the best approach to ensure that the ZYXUK Management Board supports the implementation of this SIAM Strategy?

Options :

A : Delay the implementation of the strategy until the ZYXUK Management Board has formally approved it

B :

Ensure that each ZYXUK Management Board member is teamed with a member of the strategy team they know
