PRINCE2 Project Management Practitioner (Version 7): PRINCE2-7-Practitioner Exam Premium File as PDF & Test Engine

During initiation, the project executive asks the project manager to evaluate a credible business option that omits the underground car park. The project manager includes an investment appraisal of that option in the full business case, despite the main contractor's objection.
Is this an appropriate application of the business case practice, and why?

• A. No, because anticipated parking income means that no alternative should be assessed
• B. Yes, because customer and supplier organizations must always maintain completely separate project business cases regardless of the given investment
• C. Yes, because developing the business case includes comparing credible business options to select the most appropriate investment
• D. No, because a requirement in the initial scope may never be tested as part of an alternative option

BUSINESS CASE
Here are three statements related to the 'business case' practice.
In which management product should each statement be recorded?
Choose only ONE management product for each statement. Each management product can be used once, more than once, or not at all.

• A. Project brief
• B. Commercial management approach
  Statement 1:
  The project will use a linear-sequential delivery method, and a reputable external supplier will deliver most of the specialist work.
  Statement 2:
  One sustainability target is to reduce the number of visitors arriving in internal-combustion vehicles.
  The Chief Technology Officer will implement monitoring technology, and the Business Opportunities Director will review the resulting data to determine whether the target has been achieved.
  Statement 3:
  The City Council has committed the funding for the LouisShopping investment through the Louistown is Open for Business portfolio.
• C. End stage report
• D. Benefits management approach
• E. Sustainability management approach
• F. Business case

The LouisShopping project is part of the LOB portfolio and is now in the 'initiating a project' process. The project manager asks the portfolio office to support preparation of the digital and data management approach.
Why is this involvement appropriate during the 'agree the management approaches' activity?

• A. Because a linear-sequential delivery method inherently generates a greater volume of formal data and documentation than an iterative or incremental approach, which justifies seeking specialist portfolio support
• B. Because the digital and data management approach must be consistent with the data governance standards and technical requirements that the portfolio office applies across all projects in the LOB portfolio
• C. Because the primary purpose of the digital and data management approach is to identify what data the project will need and to establish the appropriate security and access controls for that data
• D. Because the sequencing within the 'agree the management approaches' activity requires the digital and data management approach to be finalized before other management approaches, including the communication management approach

During stage 2, the design team is developing measures to minimize disruption to residents and local businesses. To build a relationship with this large external stakeholder group, the Sustainability Manager arranges a monthly newspaper article explaining the measures and inviting feedback.
Which PRINCE2 Project Management principle is MOST directly demonstrated, and why?

• A. Tailor to suit the project, because every large project is required to communicate through a local newspaper
• B. Define roles, responsibilities and relationships, because the Sustainability Manager must be the sole spokesperson for every project communication
• C. Tailor to suit the project, because the Portfolio Director is personally accountable for preparing all stakeholder communications
• D. Define roles, responsibilities and relationships, because the project is actively engaging and communicating with an external stakeholder group
