A new law requires everyone working on public-infrastructure projects to hold an appropriate security clearance. The project manager records the legislation as an external event in the issue register so that its effects can be assessed.
Is this an appropriate application of the issues practice, and why?

• A. No, because external events are managed by the business rather than by the project team
• B. Yes, because the legislation may affect the resources available to deliver the project
• C. Yes, because external events must be managed outside the project's agreed controls
• D. No, because legislation should be recorded after its full effect on delivery is known

While preparing the project plan during initiation, the project manager proposes that stage 2 should end at the Council's financial year-end. This would allow the decision on funding for stage 3 to coincide with the Council's annual budget process.
Is this an appropriate application of the 'manage by stages' principle, and why?

• A. No, because stage length must be determined solely by the level of risk
• B. Yes, because every stage may end immediately after one specialist product has been completed and funding has been approved
• C. Yes, because a stage boundary may be aligned with an important external decision point, such as a funding approval
• D. No, because stage length must be determined by the technical complexity of the work

During stage 2, the Heritage Director, acting as senior user, reviews the design and raises a concern that the previously requested heritage trail has not been addressed.
Is this an appropriate use of the 'give ongoing direction' activity, and why?

• A. No, because the Heritage Director should first seek the agreement of the full project board before raising individual concerns, to ensure a unified project board position is presented to the project manager
• B. Yes, because a project board member may raise concerns and provide ongoing direction within the authority delegated to the board
• C. No, because the 'give ongoing direction' activity is only triggered when the project manager proactively requests a review by the project board, not when individual board members identify concerns independently
• D. Yes, because the senior user has an obligation to formally approve key specialist products produced during stages 2 and 3 as a standard action within the 'give ongoing direction' activity

PLANS
Here are three items of information included in the stage 2 plan.
Under which heading (A-F) should each item be recorded?
Choose only ONE heading for each item of information. Each heading may be used once, more than once, or not at all.

• A. Planning assumptions and prerequisites
• B. Monitoring, control and reporting arrangements
  Item 1:
  The plan assumes that limited familiarity with new sustainable technologies will increase the likelihood of design errors, so additional time has been allowed for quality control.
  Item 2:
  During stage 2, the project manager will send the project board a summary of design progress every two weeks.
  Item 3:
  Stage 2 will produce architectural visualizations of the proposed building and its landscaped surroundings.
