Scenario:
The Ministry of Food Hygiene (MFH) has a quality management system which contains a document control process to manage all documentation requirements. The document control process was created by the MFH Quality Manager, who now maintains all of MFH's documents and performs an organization-wide configuration management role. The MFH Quality Manager will administer the configuration management procedure for the Restructuring project since this must comply with the MFH document control process.
According to PRINCE2, which statement about appointing the MFH Quality Manager to administer the configuration management procedure is correct?

• A.The MFH Quality Manager should administer the configuration management procedure on this project because this task should always be assigned to corporate or programme management.
• B.The MFH Quality Manager should only administer the configuration management procedure on one project at a time. If the MFH Quality Manager already performs this task on another project, another individual should be appointed.
• C.The MFH Quality Manager would be suitable to perform this task because he is the author of the document control process and is likely to have the knowledge required for this role.

Which 2 statements should be recorded under the Major risks heading?

• A.Due to market conditions a suitable service provider may not be found, possibly leading to premature closure of the project.
• B.Owing to employment contract changes staff may resist outsourcing, which would make it difficult to transfer staff to the selected service provider.
• C.MFH's operations may be reduced and the 1a-year contract may not achieve its estimated value of E80m, which would reduce the service provider's profit.
• D.The initial estimates, taken from the feasibility study report, indicate that the project will take two years to complete, which means that the business problems would remain for this period.
• E.The management stages recommended by the consultants may not be appropriate, resulting in confusion in planning.

Scenario
Product Summary
A list of customers will be collated. This will use existing information from the Accounts department about current customers, and existing information from the Marketing department about prospective customers.
Using the tariff of mailing costs available from the Post Office, a production cost forecast will be produced to allow the CEO and the Marketing Director to decide whether to continue with the project. If they decide to continue, they will give the approval to launch the internal label design competition. Competition rules will be required to communicate details of the competition to the staff. The chosen label design will then be selected from the competition entries.
The photos for the calendar must be based on existing photo design ideas available from the Marketing department. The selected photos will be chosen from these. Monthly calendar displays will be created to show the required layout of each page.

Extract from Stage Plan for stage 3.
(All entries are true statements but may not be shown under the correct heading or in the correct document).

Using the Project Scenario and the Extract from Stage Plan for stage 3 provided as additional intonation for this question in the Scenario Booklet, answer the following 5 questions.
The Stage Plan for stage 3 has been produced.
The Engineering Manager insists that there are to be no interruptions to operations whilst photographs are being taken of the engineering staff performing their everyday duties and operating machinery. Two weeks ago the professional photographer produced the photo session schedule based on the operational staff schedule. The operational staff schedule is produced weekly and maintained by the Engineering Manager.
None of the £500 change budget has been used to date and this is available for the stage.
Which 2 statements apply to the Monitoring and control section?

• A.Delete entry 11 because this relates to the monitoring and controlling of the Project Plan, not the Stage Plan.
• B.No change to entry 12 because this describes how the Project Board will control the stage.
• C.Delete entry 13 because this is part of the Controlling a Stage process.
• D.Move entry 12 because the Highlight Reports are deliverables of this stage and should be shown under Product descriptions.
• E.Delete entry 14 because the Product Status Account is NOT an ad-hoc report. It is produced at the end of each stage to identify any variations between planned status, reported status and actual status of the stage's products.
