PRINCE2® 6th Edition Foundation & Practitioner Quiz Questions and Answers
Answer :
1 and 4
Explanation :
(1) There are likely to be individuals or groups who are not part of the project management team, but who may need to interact with the project or who may be affected by the project’s outcome. (4) The communication management approach contains a description of the means and frequency of communication to parties both internal and external to the project.
(2) A stage plan is created towards the end of the preceding stage as part of the 'managing a stage boundary' process. It is produced close to the time when the planned events will take place. (3) A stage plan is created at the level of detail needed to enable the day-to-day control by the project manager.
To be following PRINCE2, a project must, as a minimum, define its quality management approach. This approach must minimally cover: the project’s approach to quality control; the project’s approach to project assurance; how the management of quality is communicated throughout the project lifecycle; and the roles and responsibilities for quality management.
No, because the 'managing product delivery' process interfaces with the 'controlling a stage' process
Explanation :
The project should be managed at the four management levels. The 'managing product delivery' process has no direct interface with programme management. As part of the 'managing product delivery' process, the progress of work packages is reported to the project manager, who then reports highlights as part of the 'controlling a stage' process.
The CEO, part of corporate management, delegates management of new singers to the Vice President. The Vice President supervises the production of albums and has an interest in their success. Therefore, the Vice President is the most appropriate person to be the executive and take responsibility for the business case.
In PRINCE2, the business justification is developed at the beginning of the project and reviewed and updated throughout the life of the project. It is formally verified by the project board at each key decision point, such as at stage boundaries, and is confirmed throughout the period that the benefits are realized.
Identify how many errors were found after the 'artwork' had passed quality inspection
Explanation :
The project manager should, as part of the 'evaluate a project' activity, review useful measurements such as how effective the quality management approach was in designing, developing and delivering fit-for-purpose products (e.g. how many errors were found after products had passed quality inspections).
As part of the 'deciding on corrective actions' step, the project manager checks if the issue could be handled without the need to escalate it to the project board. If not, the issue will be escalated to the project board for a decision and they may ask for an exception plan.
It is a project responsibility, as part of quality planning, to define the type of quality methods the project will use and include this in the project's quality management approach, (although this may refer back to the corporate organization's quality management system).
To review and, if necessary, update the project initiation documentation
Explanation :
Reviewing and, if necessary, updating the project initiation documentation (in particular the business case, project plan, project approach, strategies, project management team structure and role descriptions) is an objective of the 'managing a stage boundary' process.
