Question 1

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 2

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

Question 5

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.
