CIPS L5M8 Exam - Topic 2 Question 5 Discussion

Actual exam question for CIPS's L5M8 exam
Question #: 5
Topic #: 2
[All L5M8 Questions]

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?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
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.

I’m a bit confused. I thought that even small projects benefit from having an Executive, so I might go with option C, but I’m not completely confident.

I practiced a similar question, and I think it said that executives are mainly for high-profile projects, which makes me think option B could be correct.

I’m not entirely sure, but I feel like Claude might still need an Executive to ensure everything aligns with company goals. Maybe option C is right?

D seems like the right answer to me. Since Claude is the manager, he is essentially the Executive of the project.
