PRINCE2 Practitioner Exam - Topic 3 Question 65 Discussion

Actual exam question for PRINCE2's PRINCE2 Practitioner exam

Question #: 65
Topic #: 3

Scenario

Additional Information

Extract from the Communication Management Strategy.

The project information in the table below is true, but it may not be recorded under the correct heading or be in the correct document.

Using the Project Scenario, select the appropriate response to each of the following 5 questions which have been raised by the Project Board.

The project is now at the end of the initiation stage. Having decided that the Calendar project is a relatively simple project, the Project Manager combined the Starting Up a Project process and the Initiating a Project process. No Project Brief has been produced. Instead the Project Manager used the project mandate to produce a simple Project Initiation Documentation (PlO). The PlO includes the Business Case, a product checklist and several Product Descriptions, Including the Project Product Description. Short sections are also included for each of the strategies and the controls to be applied. The Project Manager has elected to use the Daily Log to record all risks, issues, lessons and quality - results.

After the initiation stage there will be two further stages during which a small number of Work Packages will be authorized. While these are being managed, the Project Manager will hold regular checkpoints, which will support the production of weekly Highlight Reports to the Project Board.

Without a Risk Register how can project risks, the progress of risk actions taken to date and the current status of residual risks be measured?

AThe Daily Log was correctly used to monitor risks during the Starting up a Project process. It will be used to capture all risks, actions, decisions, assumptions

BIt was not appropriate to use the Daily Log to capture all risks and issues during the Starting up a Project process. Separate registers should have been set up for risks, issues and lessons learned. This will now be done.

CIn a simple project, the Project Initiation Documentation (PID) should contain a register for recording risk information and monitoring project risks throughout the delivery stages. The register will now be added to the PID.

A PID should definitely have a risk register, no doubt!

The Daily Log isn't meant for risks, right?

I feel like the PID should definitely include a risk register, especially for tracking throughout the project. I hope that’s the right choice here!

I’m a bit confused about whether a simple project can skip the Risk Register. I thought we always needed one, but maybe the Daily Log could work?

I think we had a similar question about the Daily Log in one of our mock exams. It feels like it should be used for tracking issues rather than risks, but I can't recall the exact details.

I remember discussing the importance of having a dedicated Risk Register during our practice sessions. Using the Daily Log seems risky, but I’m not entirely sure if it’s completely wrong.

I've got a good feeling about this one. The scenario mentions the Project Manager is using a simplified approach, so I think the Daily Log is likely the correct answer here. I'll carefully read through the options to confirm, but I'm confident I can nail this question.

This one's got me stumped. I'm not sure if using the Daily Log is the right solution, or if I should be looking for a more formal risk management approach. I'll need to review the PRINCE2 principles and processes to make sure I'm on the right track.

Ah, I see what they're getting at here. The question is testing our understanding of the PRINCE2 risk management process. Since there's no formal Risk Register, the Daily Log may be an appropriate alternative, but I'll need to double-check the details.

Hmm, I'm a bit confused by this one. The scenario mentions the Project Manager used the Daily Log to record risks, but it's not clear if that's the right approach. I'll need to think through the PRINCE2 guidance on risk management to figure out the best answer.

This question seems straightforward - it's asking about how to manage risks without a formal Risk Register. I'll carefully read through the scenario and options to determine the best approach.

Okay, I think I've got this. The key is to identify the annotation that allows an Apex method to be called from a Lightning web component. Based on the options provided, I believe the answer is B) @AuraEnabled.

I'm not totally sure about this one. I know we need to make sure the authorization filter runs first, but I'm not confident in the different ways we can achieve that. I'll have to review the material on filter ordering before the exam.

Daily Log, schmaily log. I'd just write 'everything's on fire' in it and call it a day. But I guess the Project Board might not appreciate that level of honesty.

Why am I not surprised the Project Manager is cutting corners? Seems like a recipe for disaster. At least they're owned up to it and are going to fix it.

A Risk Register in the PID is definitely the way to go. Gotta have a proper system for monitoring and managing project risks, even on a simple project.

No Project Brief? That's a bit sloppy. I guess the Project Manager was trying to keep things simple, but skipping key documents is a risky move.

The Daily Log seems like a convenient way to track risks, but it's not really designed for that. Separate registers would be better for proper risk management.
