BuildyBrick is demobilizing after delivering the shopping centre on time and within budget. Before the remaining supplier personnel leave, the project manager checks that the Council's operations and facilities teams are ready to receive, operate and maintain the completed centre.
Why is this an appropriate application of the 'confirm project acceptance' activity?

• A. Because all project information should be archived before the completed project product is accepted
• B. Because the project manager should arrange a celebration before the contractor leaves the site
• C. Because the project manager should confirm that handover to the operational and maintenance environment is complete
• D. Because the project manager should complete the end project performance assessment before any supplier demobilizes

As stage 3 approaches its end, the project manager seeks supplier-related advice from the CEO of BuildyBrick, acting in the senior supplier interest, about planning the testing and inspections in stage 4.
Under which 'directing a project' activity is this informal consultation provided?

• A. Give ongoing direction
• B. Authorize a stage or exception plan
• C. Authorize initiation
• D. Authorize the project

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

PROGRESS
Here are three actions related to the 'progress' practice for the LouisShopping project.
Which role (A-E) should be responsible for each action?
Choose only ONE role for each action. Each role can be used once, more than once, or not at all.

• A. Project support
  Action 1:
  Assist the project manager in compiling the lessons report, including the recommendation that future projects allow more time for testing and inspections.
  Action 2:
  When delays to the floor installation cause the stage to be forecast beyond tolerance, submit an exception report to the project board for a decision.
  Action 3:
  Review the exception plan and decide whether to approve it, including the revised stage targets and tolerances.
• B. Project assurance
• C. Project executive
• D. Project manager
• E. Team manager

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 '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
• 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 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
• 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
