A high-level requirement that the design should be consistent with its surroundings was recorded during
'starting up a project'. During initiation, the project manager works with Council members, residents, retailers and BuildyBrick to clarify the required design characteristics and define measurable acceptance criteria.
Which management product should be updated with this information?

• A. Project plan
• B. Work package
• C. Project product description
• D. Product flow diagram

During the 'starting up a project' process, the Business Opportunities Director appoints the Regeneration Manager as project manager and states that the portfolio's standard role description will apply without discussion. The Regeneration Manager asks to confirm the responsibilities, but the Director refuses because the project is urgent.
Is the refusal an appropriate application of the 'define roles, responsibilities and relationships' principle, and why?

• A. Yes, because it is the project executive's responsibility to appoint the project manager and establish their responsibilities as part of the 'starting up a project' process
• B. No, because each project manager must have a clear understanding of their own individual responsibilities and formally accept those responsibilities before commencing project work
• C. No, because it is the portfolio manager's role, rather than the project executive's, to define the project manager's responsibilities for projects within the portfolio
• D. Yes, because standardized portfolio role descriptions give every project manager a consistent and well- understood baseline of responsibilities, removing the need for individual discussion

At the end of the initiation stage, the Regeneration Manager submits the project plan and business case for review. The Portfolio Director releases funding for both stages 2 and 3 and instructs the project manager to provide only a progress report at the end of stage 2, without a project board decision before stage 3 begins.
Is this an appropriate application of the 'manage by stages' principle, and why?

• A. No, because the project board must review the continued viability of the business case and authorize the next stage at each stage boundary, rather than approving multiple stages in advance
• B. No, because it is the City Council, rather than the Portfolio Director, that should hold the authority to commit funding across multiple stages of the project
• C. Yes, because the project manager is authorized to manage the project on a day-to-day basis within set tolerances throughout each stage, without requiring additional project board decisions
• D. Yes, because the Portfolio Director, as the commissioning authority, has the right to determine the reporting frequency and format that best suit portfolio-level oversight

The target state for LouisShopping requires the car park to be monitored continuously, 24 hours a day and seven days a week, as an ongoing safety routine.
Under which heading of the change management approach should this requirement be recorded?

• A. Enabling activities
• B. Responsibilities
• C. State characteristics
• D. Resources

At the start of stage 3, the project board inserts detailed recycling tolerances directly into each work package without the project manager agreeing the delegated targets with the relevant team managers.
Is this an appropriate application of the progress practice, and why?

• A. No, because sustainability tolerances should be recorded only at project level rather than delegated through work packages
• B. No, because the project manager should authorize the work packages and agree the delegated sustainability tolerances
• C. Yes, because the project board should collect and review work-package progress directly from each delivery team
• D. Yes, because team managers generally need to comply with sustainability metrics set directly by the project board
