The e-learning course is being delivered by an external consultancy. The project manager has included a warranty period in the contract with the consultancy to ensure that any faults in the course can be fixed after the course is in operational use. This means that the work of the external consultancy will continue post-project. The project manager has suggested that an additional step be added to the standard course development model to be used for future projects to accommodate this additional work after the project has closed.
Is this an appropriate application of the 'tailor to suit the project' principle, and why?
A. Yes, because the project management method used should be appropriate to the customer/supplier environment
B. Yes, because the project controls should be appropriate to the complexity and risk of the project
C. No, because the PRINCE2 project lifecycle should not include project work after the project has closed
D. No, because the project should be following ABC Company's standard course development model
ABC Company's development team are using an agile delivery approach to produce the 'classroom-based training materials'. They have asked if their existing product owner can also act as team manager for their work package, although the team will continue to organize its own work within delegated limits of authority. The project manager has agreed to this request.
Is this an appropriate action, and why?
A. Yes, because the product owner can also act as team manager while allowing the team to self-organize
B. Yes, because agile teams need to be empowered by the use of management by exception
C. No, because the team manager is responsible for managing the work of project team members
D. No, because the product owner should represent the wider view of the customer in cross-functional projects
The e-learning course is being delivered by an external consultancy. The external consultancy has their own business case that justifies their involvement in the project. As a result, the project manager has refused to show the supplier any information related to ABC Company's benefits. This means that the external team manager has not seen any information relating to ABC Company's business justification for the project. Therefore, the external consultancy does not understand how the e-learning course contributes to the project's benefits.
Is this an appropriate action for the project manager to take, and why?
A. Yes, because the supplier should have their own business case that justifies their involvement in the project, separate from the customer's business case
B. Yes, because ABC Company should ensure that the project is viable from their perspective and the supplier should not be involved in this
C. No, because the supplier needs to understand the link between the outputs they are producing and the project benefits
D. No, because the expected benefits from the health and safety training course sales will benefit the customer, not the supplier

During the initiation stage, ABC Company's project manager contacted a specialist external consultancy and asked them to provide a quotation for the 'e-learning course'. This triggered the 'starting up a project' process for the external consultancy. As a result, the consultancy's project manager responded to the request for proposal stating that the 'e-learning course' work package will be a simple project from their perspective.
Is this an appropriate response to the request for a proposal by the external consultancy, and why?
A. Yes, because the consultancy's project manager should be appointed during the 'starting up a project' process
B. Yes, because the supplier's 'starting up a project' process should happen before the contract is agreed
C. No, because the supplier's 'starting up a project' process should happen at the same time as the customer's pre-project activities
D. No, because the 'starting up a project' process can be handled less formally in a simple project with acceptable risks
