ABC Company will deliver training to its customers and also hopes to sell the course materials to other training companies as part of their operational business. ABC Company will use their own sales and marketing departments to promote the courses.
The legislation requires construction companies to comply with the new legislation within two years. The course materials and trainers have to be accredited by a government agency before courses can be delivered.

Project Scenario
Calendar Project (Note: The companies and people within the scenario are fictional.) There has been a reduction in fie number of orders at the MNO Manufacturing Company due in part to the increased marketing activities of its competitors. To help counter this, the company has decided to create a promotional calendar for next year for all its current and prospective customers. The end product of this project will be a prepared calendar pack, ready for printing. The design of the calendar will be similar to one sent out previously, and must reflect the company image as described in the existing corporate branding standards. Another project is currently producing a new company logo when is to be printed on each page of the promotional calendar. The prepared calendar pack will consist of:
* Design for each month - correctly showing at public holidays and new company logo
* Selected photographs- 12 professionally-produced photographs, showing different members of staff
* Selected paper and selected envelope - for printing and mailing the calendar
* Chosen label design - a competition to design a label will be held as part of this project
* List of customers - names and addresses of customers to whom the calendar will be sent.
The project is currently in initiation and will have two further stages:
Stage 2 will include tie activities to:
* Create the customer fast using information from the Accounts and Marketing departments
* Confirm compliance with the Data Protection Legislation
* Create a design for each month - this will be done by the internal creative team
* Select and appoint a professional photographer
* Gather photograph design ideas from previous project and agree photographic session schedule
* Prepare a production cost forecast
* Select paper and envelope.
Stage 3 will include the activities to:
* Produce and select tie professionally-taken photographs
* Hold the label design competition and choose the label design
* Assemble the prepared calendar pack.
A production cost forecast, based on the options and costs for the paper, envelope, printing and marketing of the calendar is to be produced in stage 2. However, the actual production and distribution of the calendars is not within the scope of the project. The product cost forecast will be reviewed by the Project Board to determine whether tie project should continue.
It is now 05 October and the prepared calendar pack must be delivered to the print company by 30 November, to enable printing and distribution of the calendar in time for Christmas. The cost of the activities to develop the specialist products and the cost of the project management activities are estimated to be £20,000. There is a project time tolerance of +1 week /-2 weeks and a project cost tolerance of +£6,000 / -£6,000. A change budget of £500 has been allocated but there is no risk budget.
Whilst identifying the mailing costs for the calendars the Project Manager was surprised to find the costs could vary considerably depending on the size of the package and the delivery service used. For the purpose of this project, the Project Manager has selected an appropriate service but feels that a corporate standard for postage would have reduced the time and effort invested. It could reduce the company's overheads by up to
£20k per year. How should the Project Manager record this observation within the project?

• A. Make an entry in the Lessons Log for future consideration by corporate management.
• B. Record the observation in an Exception Report to the Project Board.
• C. Make a note of the observation in the Daily Log to be transferred to a Benefits Review Plan at the end of the project.
• D. Produce a project mandate, outlining the potential savings to be achieved by the introduction of a corporate standard.

In which strategy would the change control process be recorded?

• A. Communication Management Strategy
• B. Configuration Management Strategy
• C. Quality Management Strategy
• D. Risk Management Strategy

At the end of stage 2, an external consultant responsible for developing the 'e-learning course', was appointed to the project board as a senior supplier. The stage 3 plan identifies the consultant as a reviewer of the 'e- learning course'. When preparing for a quality review of the 'e-learning course', the consultant found 15 possible errors. The consultant then documented these possible errors in the quality register.
Is this an appropriate activity when preparing for a quality review, and why?

• A. Yes, because the quality reviewers should update the quality register as quality review activities are completed.
• B. No, because the senior supplier should not be identified as a reviewer as part of the quality review technique.
• C. No, because possible errors that are found when preparing for a quality review should be documented on a question list.
• D. Yes, because each team manager should update the quality register as quality review activities are completed.

The Work Package has been in progress for four weeks and has four weeks remaining. The Information Technology Team Manager is concerned that he has no idea what the service provider is doing about preparing to accept the transfer of Information Technology equipment and staff. He is uncertain about what should be happening.
Which 2 initial actions should the Team Manager take in response to this concern?

• A. Raise an issue to notify the Project Manager of this concern.
• B. Notify the Project Manager by raising an Exception Report.
• C. Check the Information Technology Work Package for development interfaces to see whether the service provider Team Manager should have been liaising with the Information Technology team during development.
• D. Raise this concern in the next fortnightly Checkpoint Report.
• E. Check the Communication Management Strategy to ascertain what records of communications with the service provider are required.
