Question: 4

You are in the design phase of a project to deliver offices on a newly acquired plot of land. You have now completed extra surveys and discovered that the ground conditions are a lot softer than expected, meaning the design and delivery will be far more complex and costly. You did not account for this in your risk register.

Which of the following statements about the project business case is true?

AThe business case contained assumptions which should be reviewed against the cost-benefit analysis.

BThere is a strong strategic case for the project to continue, even if it is late or over budget.

CThe business case has already been signed off, so the project should continue as planned.

DThe project sponsor did not properly evaluate all available options in the business case.

Answer: A

Explanation:

The business case should contain assumptions, and in this scenario, assumptions about ground conditions need to be reviewed against the cost-benefit analysis to reassess project feasibility.

Question: 5

You are the project manager of a promotional campaign project that's currently in the development phase. The project sponsor is concerned about the project's financial performance and has asked you to send them an update report.

Which of the three following reports could be used to highlight the project's current financial position?

Business case.

Cash flow.

Benefits forecast.

Actual costs versus forecasted costs.

Investment appraisal.

Earned value analysis.

A2, 4, and 6.

B3, 4, and 5.

C1, 5, and 6.

D2, 3, and 4.

Answer: A

Explanation:

The correct reports to highlight the project's current financial position are:

Cash Flow (2):

Tracks the inflow and outflow of funds during the project, providing a real-time snapshot of liquidity.

This is critical for understanding whether the project is financially stable at any given point.

Actual Costs vs. Forecasted Costs (4):

Compares what has been spent so far to the planned or forecasted budget.

Highlights any deviations from the expected financial performance, such as overspending or cost savings.

Earned Value Analysis (6):

Combines cost, schedule, and scope to measure project performance and progress.

Provides insights into cost variances (difference between planned and actual costs) and schedule performance.

Why not the other options?

Business Case (1): The business case focuses on the initial justification for the project, not real-time financial tracking.

Benefits Forecast (3): Focuses on future benefits, not current financial performance.

Investment Appraisal (5): Evaluates long-term financial viability, not ongoing financial performance.
