Question 1

Here is a statement about the programme justification for the Merger Programme.

In which document (A-E) should the statements be recorded?

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

Due to the high-risk nature of mergers and acquisitions, the sponsoring group will hold a reserve of 20% of the base cost to cover unexpected events that could occur.

Options :

A : Programme mandate

B : Funding approach

C : Programme brief

D : Business case

E : Financial plan

Answer: D

Question 2

The programme manager has asked the Research Manager to present to the programme board.

The presentation will identify what skills will be required to operate the new joint Research and Development function, once the new ways of working have been established.

Is this an appropriate application of the ‘deploy diverse skills’ principle, and why?

Options :

A : Yes, because the programme board should be clear on the skills needed to operate business as usual

B : Yes, because the programme board should be clear on the costs of deploying specialist skills

C : No, because operational skills should be included under 'organization' in the target operating model

D : No, because staffing the joint Research and Development function is an operational responsibility

Answer: A

Question 3

The Culture Alignment Project took longer than expected, meaning the Sales Channel and Processes Project was also affected. This delayed the end of the tranche. Therefore, the Estates/Buildings Rationalization Project started late, which delayed the end of Tranche 3. The programme is now in the ‘close the programme’ process, and the programme team is reviewing the overall performance of the programme. The programme office is updating the programme documentation to reflect the final position.

Which theme is MOST relevant to this activity?

Options :

A : Assurance

B : Decisions

C : Design

D : Justification

Answer: D

Question 4

The first tranche has started, and news of the restructure has spread through both organizations.

The programme board is concerned by the large number of staff-related issues being raised by the project manager of the Divisional Restructure Project. Some TechStore staff are threatening to go to the media about the way they have been treated. As a result, the programme board requested a review of the stakeholder engagement approach.

Is this an appropriate application of the 'assurance' theme?

Options :

A : Yes, because emerging issues and risks that threaten the viability of the programme should trigger assurance activities

B : Yes, because the stakeholder engagement process should be reviewed at regular intervals as part of regular progress monitoring

C : No, because the stakeholder engagement approach should be reviewed as part of the 'evaluate new information' process

D : No, because the potential damage to PCTech-s reputation from negative media reports should be recorded in the risk register

Answer: A

Question 5
