The Chief Technology Officer is an influential stakeholder who strongly supports several unproven technologies for the shopping centre. Concerned about delivery risk and reputation, the project executive asks the project manager to limit the CTO's contact with the project team and other stakeholders.
Is this an appropriate approach to leading successful change, and why?

• A. Yes, because influential stakeholders should be excluded when their preferred solutions create delivery uncertainty
• B. Yes, because restricting the CTO's involvement would protect the project's reputation from untested proposals
• C. No, because the project manager should record the technological concerns only as risks requiring formal responses
• D. No, because the CTO should remain engaged so that their influence can support adoption across the organizational ecosystem

During 'closing a project', the project manager updates the arrangements that specify how and when the Head of the Portfolio Office will measure the increase in business opportunities after LouisShopping enters operational use.
During which closing activity should this be done?

• A. Confirm project acceptance
• B. Request project closure
• C. Evaluate the project
• D. Prepare planned closure

During initiation, the project team holds a product-based planning workshop to break the site-preparation and foundation products into greater detail. The analysis identifies the need for a more comprehensive and costly environmental impact assessment because of Louistown's 'green town' status.
During which 'initiating a project' activity should this workshop take place?

• A. Agree the management approaches
• B. Prepare the project plan
• C. Agree the tailoring requirements
• D. Prepare the full business case

In stage 4, work is late because the survey and utilities teams have not shared information needed by other teams, and morale is falling. The project manager considers a short weekly coordination forum for questions and information sharing, but rejects it solely because it would take time away from delivery.
Is this an appropriate approach to leading a successful team, and why?

• A. Yes, because requiring team managers to attend regular coordination meetings diverts their time away from completing their work packages, thereby risking further delays
• B. No, because the project manager should formally escalate the missed work package deadlines to the project board via an exception report rather than attempting to resolve the issue through coordination meetings
• C. Yes, because the primary responsibility for improving team morale and overall productivity rests with each individual team manager, not the project manager
• D. No, because the project manager should create mechanisms that strengthen coordination and relationships across the project team

The Louistown City Council operates a well-established and standardized project management framework that includes a defined procedure for developing business cases. For the LouisShopping Project, a 'strategic business case' was included in the project brief submitted to the project board at the conclusion of the
'starting up a project' process. The project has now entered the 'initiating a project' process, during which the full business case is being built upon the strategic business case, which was itself derived from the Council's five-year strategic plan for the 'Louistown is Open for Business' portfolio.
Does this represent an appropriate application of the 'business case' practice, and why?

• A. Yes, because developing the business case from multiple perspectives - strategic, economic, and commercial - ensures a comprehensive and robust justification for the project investment
• B. No, because responsibility for developing the full business case for each project in the portfolio lies with the portfolio office, not the project team
• C. No, because the full business case should be developed from an outline business case prepared during the 'starting up a project' process, and using a 'strategic business case' instead is not compliant with the method
• D. Yes, because the project should align its approach to business case development with the City Council's established procedure, which serves as the equivalent of PRINCE2's recommended business case lifecycle
