ISSUES
During stage 1, BuildyBrick was appointed by the procurement team manager as the main contractor for the project. The project is now in stage 3 and BuildyBrick is part way through the site preparation. Following an environmental survey report, BuildyBrick will have to delay the site clearance by several weeks to enable protected amphibians to be relocated. There are two options to deal with this issue. The first is to wait for BuildyBrick to clear the site, but this will take longer. The second is to hire an additional contractor to clear the site more quickly, but this will cost more. Both of these options can be completed within cost and time tolerances, but appointing an additional contractor is beyond the project manager's delegated authority.
Here are three actions related to the resolution of this issue.
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. Senior supplier
• B. Project manager
  Action 1:
  Review the issue report and decide which response should be authorized.
  Action 2:
  After the decision is made, update the issue record with the selected response and decision.
  Action 3:
  Once the appointment is authorized, confirm that the supplier resources required for the additional site- clearance work can be provided.
• C. Project executive
• D. Senior user
• E. Project assurance

During stage 2, the project board agrees that the underground car park should contain 15 rapid-charging spaces, with a scope tolerance permitting delivery of no fewer than 10 spaces. The project manager includes this tolerance in the relevant work package agreed with the team manager.
Is this an appropriate application of the 'manage by exception' principle, and why?

• A. Yes, because specifying a minimum and a preferred number of charging bays constitutes a quality tolerance that the design team must meet within the agreed work package
• B. No, because the project board should approve the precise number of charging spaces rather than delegate a permissible range to the design team
• C. No, because the precise number of electric charging bays to be included should be fully specified in the product description for the underground car park rather than treated as a tolerance
• D. Yes, because establishing a minimum and a preferred number of charging bays creates a defined scope tolerance that enables the design team to work within an agreed range without needing to escalate every individual design decision

RISK
Here are three items of information relating to the 'risk' practice.
In which management product (A-E) should each item be recorded?
Choose only ONE management product for each item of information. Each management product may be used once, more than once, or not at all.

• A. Risk management approach
  Item 1:
  A cracked pane has already been identified and replacement is planned for next week. The project manager records the separate uncertainty that the supplier may miss that future replacement date and delay subsequent work.
  Item 2:
  The agreed procedure states that the project board and project manager will review all open risks during every end stage assessment.
  Item 3:
  The project will use a red-amber-green scale to classify risks according to their overall severity.
• B. Risk register
• C. Issue report
• D. Issue register
• E. Quality management approach

PLANS
Here are three items of information included in the stage 2 plan.
Under which heading (A-F) should each item be recorded?
Choose only ONE heading for each item of information. Each heading may be used once, more than once, or not at all.

• A. Budget
• B. Monitoring, control and reporting arrangements
  Item 1:
  The plan assumes that limited familiarity with new sustainable technologies will increase the likelihood of design errors, so additional time has been allowed for quality control.
  Item 2:
  During stage 2, the project manager will send the project board a summary of design progress every two weeks.
  Item 3:
  Stage 2 will produce architectural visualizations of the proposed building and its landscaped surroundings.
• C. Tolerances
• D. Dependencies
• E. Planning assumptions and prerequisites
• F. Products to be delivered
