PRINCE2 Exam PRINCE2-Practitioner Topic 2 Question 39 Discussion

Actual exam question for PRINCE2's PRINCE2-Practitioner exam

Question #: 39
Topic #: 2

Scenario

Additional Information

Extract from the Communication Management Strategy.

The project information in the table below is true, but it may not be recorded under the correct heading or be in the correct document.

Using the Project Scenario, select the appropriate response to each of the following 5 questions which have been raised by the Project Board.

The project is now at the end of the initiation stage. Having decided that the Calendar project is a relatively simple project, the Project Manager combined the Starting Up a Project process and the Initiating a Project process. No Project Brief has been produced. Instead the Project Manager used the project mandate to produce a simple Project Initiation Documentation (PlO). The PlO includes the Business Case, a product checklist and several Product Descriptions, Including the Project Product Description. Short sections are also included for each of the strategies and the controls to be applied. The Project Manager has elected to use the Daily Log to record all risks, issues, lessons and quality - results.

After the initiation stage there will be two further stages during which a small number of Work Packages will be authorized. While these are being managed, the Project Manager will hold regular checkpoints, which will support the production of weekly Highlight Reports to the Project Board.

This question provides a number of changes which may or may not be required to the Extract from the Communication Management Strategy provided in the additional information.

Which statement applies to the Timing of communication activities section?

ADelete entry 9 because activities for controlling the project should be planned as part of Project controls in the Project Initiation Documentation.

BNo change to entry 9 because it describes the timing of performance reports.

CDelete entry 10 because Highlight Reports are a Project Board control, the frequency of which should be recorded in the Project controls section of the Project Initiation Documentation.

Option C is the way to go. Gotta keep that Communication Management Strategy tidy, like a freshly-pressed suit. No room for any loose threads!

I bet the Project Manager is wishing they had a copy of the PRINCE2 manual right about now. This exam question is like a test within a test!

Definitely option C. Trying to keep the Communication Management Strategy as lean as possible is a wise move. Let's not clutter it with stuff that belongs elsewhere.

C) Yes, that makes sense. Highlight Reports are a Project Board control, so the frequency should be recorded in the Project Initiation Documentation, not the Communication Management Strategy.

B) I agree with this. Entry 9 describes the timing of performance reports, which is relevant to the Communication Management Strategy. No need to delete it.

A) Hmm, that's an interesting point. I can see the logic behind deleting entry 9, as controlling the project should be part of the Project Initiation Documentation. But I'm not sure if that's the right approach here.
