[All PRINCE2 Practitioner Questions]

Scenario

Additional Information

Further information on some resources who could be involved in the project:

Outcome Account Manager: He represents Outcome which is a recruitment agency that provides specialist outsourcing resources. Outcome provided the consultants who carried out the feasibility study and the same consultants will be providing support and guidance to the Information Technology and Facilities teams during the project.

Director of Finance Division: She was transferred from the Information Technology Division 12 months ago. She is responsible for ensuring a cost-conscious approach is adopted in all operational and project activities across the Ministry of Food Hygiene.

Hardware Manager: Reports to the Director of Information Technology. He provides computer hardware to all business functions but has little awareness of the needs of his colleagues working in software.

Payroll Manager: Reports to the Director of Finance. He is a very experienced and efficient qualified accountant who has much of the responsibility of running the Finance Division on behalf of the Director of Finance. He has been involved in drafting the Ministry's business strategy and assisting in a full business risk assessment. He also drafted the corporate Business Case standards.

Which 2 alternative actions apply to the proposed business assurance for this project?

I feel like replacing someone with the Project Manager might be too simplistic for this project. We should probably keep the current roles and just add the relevant ones instead.

I'm a bit confused about whether we should remove the Hardware Manager. He seems important, but I guess he doesn't really represent the user perspective.

I remember a practice question where we had to consider the roles of different stakeholders, and I feel like the Director of Finance should definitely be included for her oversight on payments.

Hmm, I'm a little unsure about this one. I know consent decrees are used to resolve privacy violations, but I'm not totally clear on the specific benefits to each party. I'll need to think this through carefully.

Okay, let's see. The Citrix Studio console would be a good place to configure the SSL settings for the Delivery Controller. And the Citrix StoreFront console should have options to secure the STA traffic. I'm pretty confident those are two of the right tools.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. I know the report should cover the test goals and conclusions, but I can't remember if it also includes the test subject demographics or just their names. Let me think this through carefully.

If the Payroll Manager wrote the Business Case standards, they'd better be on the assurance team! I agree, options C and E are the way to go.

Ha, the Hardware Manager has 'little awareness of the needs of his colleagues working in software' - sounds like a classic IT department situation! I'd go for options C and E.

I'm not sure about option B - the project may be simple, but additional business assurance could still be valuable. And I don't think removing the Payroll Manager is a good idea, since they have relevant experience.

The question is quite specific, and I think options C and D are the most applicable. The Outcome Consultants have already been involved in the feasibility study, and the Director of Finance Division has responsibility for financial oversight.
