CIPS L5M8 Exam - Topic 2 Question 5 Discussion

Posted by Reita on Oct 28, 2025 at 09:04 PM

Claude is a manager at Sunnyside Ltd and wishes to run a small project in the procurement department. The project will initiate a small incremental change and will have a short timescale. Because of the size of the project Claude doesn't believe he will need to assign an Executive to the project. Is this correct?

Suggested Answer: C

The guide emphasises that an Executive role should still be assigned and engaged even on small/simple projects, maintaining communication with the Project Manager; they are jointly the most important roles.
