Towards the end of stage 2, the project manager realized that not all of the ‘recorded sample songs' would be completed before the end of the stage. The project manager decided to move the remaining work to stage 3. This enabled the project manager to report that stage 2 was completed within time tolerance. Is this an appropriate application of the 'manage by stages' principle, and why? (Copyright © AXELOS Limited 2017, usage approved by AXELOS Limited. All rights reserved.)
The executive has appointed the company's finance manager to provide business assurance, to monitor whether the album sales will exceed the production costs as the project progresses through each stage. How well does this apply the 'manage by exception' principle, and why? (Copyright © AXELOS Limited 2017, usage approved by AXELOS Limited. All rights reserved.)
During the 'initiating a project' process, it was decided that the sound quality of the album should be the same, regardless of the delivery channel used. At the beginning of stage 4, the project manager agrees this requirement with the team manager responsible for delivering the album to the different channels. Which principle is being applied, and why? (Copyright © AXELOS Limited 2017, usage approved by AXELOS Limited. All rights reserved.)
During stage 3, the Music Album Project board consists of the Vice President as the executive and senior user, with no senior supplier. Is this an appropriate application of the 'defined roles and responsibilities' principle, and why (Copyright © AXELOS Limited 2017, usage approved by AXELOS Limited. All rights reserved.)
The work package to create the 'artwork' will commence in stage 3. The graphic design company uses their own development method to deliver products. They have appointed their Graphic Designer as the team manager to complete this work package. The project manager will review the appointment at the end of the stage. Which principle is being applied by the review, and why? (Copyright © AXELOS Limited 2017, usage approved by AXELOS Limited. All rights reserved.)

The Music Album Project is part of a programme to contract new singers. The 'artwork' is being produced by an external graphic designer. The graphic designer's profit has been documented in the record company's business case. Is this appropriate, and why? (Copyright © AXELOS Limited 2017, usage approved by AXELOS Limited. All rights reserved.)
The project is in the initiation stage. When negotiating with the record company on behalf of the singer, the singer's agent stated that this type of music represents 3% of the total music market. The singer's agent understands the music industry and has been asked to specify how much profit the record company should expect to make from the sales of this album. Is this appropriate, and why? (Copyright © AXELOS Limited 2017, usage approved by AXELOS Limited. All rights reserved.)
As a result of previous lessons, this recommendation has been made: "If an executive is appointed who does not have an understanding of PRINCE2, someone with experience of applying PRINCE2 should undertake business assurance." The Recording Studio Manager has therefore been appointed as business assurance for stage 2. Is this appropriate, and why? (Copyright © AXELOS Limited 2017, usage approved by AXELOS Limited. All rights reserved.)
The Contracts Manager has been appointed as the project manager for the Music Album Project. In a previous job, the Contracts Manager worked as a graphic designer and, when planning for stage 3, decided to also take on the role of team manager for the 'artwork' production. Is this an appropriate application of the organization theme, and why? (Copyright © AXELOS Limited 2017, usage approved by AXELOS Limited. All rights reserved.)
The record company must comply with music industry regulations when producing the 'artwork'. Which action should the project manager take, and why? (Copyright © AXELOS Limited 2017, usage approved by AXELOS Limited. All rights reserved.)
During stage 2, the 'recorded sample songs' will be delivered and made available to members of focus groups. Feedback from the focus groups will be used to improve the 'recorded album'. The Production Manager has asked the singer to assess the recordings of the sample songs. This has been planned as part of the quality management approach. Why is this an appropriate action? (Copyright © AXELOS Limited 2017, usage approved by AXELOS Limited. All rights reserved.)
The project is approaching the end of stage 3. The project manager has invited the team managers involved in stage 4 to a workshop to draft the stage 4 plan. The project manager has asked the team managers, some of whom are external suppliers, to draft their team plans beforehand in order to verify that the stage plan is achievable. Is this appropriate, and why? (Copyright © AXELOS Limited 2017, usage approved by AXELOS Limited. All rights reserved.)
In order to prepare the project plan, the project manager used the record company's historical data, such as the types and number of human resources who took part in the previous music album projects. However, for the stage plans, the project manager organized workshops with the team managers to estimate the resources required. Is this appropriate, and why? (Copyright © AXELOS Limited 2017, usage approved by AXELOS Limited. All rights reserved.)
During stage 3, the singer's agent informed the project manager that the singer may be invited to perform at an international festival. If there is interest from an international audience, the record company will need extra money to expand their distribution channels. The project manager has created a provisional plan to cover the activities required, should the singer be invited. From which budget should the extension of the distribution channels be funded, and why? (Copyright © AXELOS Limited 2017, usage approved by AXELOS Limited. All rights reserved.)
The following risk has been recorded in the risk register: "As the singer is new to the market, there is a threat that the music album sales will not exceed the production costs, which would result in the project no longer being viable". The record company plans to find an alternative graphic design company, to lower the overall production costs. Which risk response is being applied, and why? (Copyright © AXELOS Limited 2017, usage approved by AXELOS Limited. All rights reserved.)
At the end of stage 2, the CEO decided to add a promotional video to the scope of stage 3 and increase the project budget by £10,000. This amount is sufficient to resolve the issue, which will be managed using the recommended issue and change control procedure. However, after noticing that stage 3 has a cost tolerance of £12,000, the CEO decided to use this instead. Is this appropriate, and why? (Copyright © AXELOS Limited 2017, usage approved by AXELOS Limited. All rights reserved.)
During stage 3, the 'artwork' has been completed. However, it does not fully meet the quality criteria requested by the singer and in the documented product description. The cost of corrective action will be £500 and will delay the project by a week. The team manager has discussed this issue with the graphic designer and the singer. It has been agreed that the 'artwork' is good enough and will be used as it is. Is this an appropriate approach to controlling change, and why? (Copyright © AXELOS Limited 2017, usage approved by AXELOS Limited. All rights reserved.)
In stage 2, the music lawyer is a team manager working on the draft contract for the singer. He usually sends an email to the project manager every two days summarizing the status of the work. No major progress is expected over the next week, so the project manager amends the work package to receive reports over the phone. Is this appropriate, and why? (Copyright © AXELOS Limited 2017, usage approved by AXELOS Limited. All rights reserved.)
During the 'starting up a project' process, the project manager was told that the Production Assistant will not be available for the first stage. This issue needs to be managed formally. Which management product should be used to record this issue, and why? (Copyright © AXELOS Limited 2017, usage approved by AXELOS Limited. All rights reserved.)
The project manager is preparing the project brief. A previous project had an issue with a focus group member uploading sample songs to the internet without permission. The project manager has asked the record company's cyber security expert to draft a section for the project brief that identifies measures required to prevent this from happening again. Is this appropriate, and why? (Copyright © AXELOS Limited 2017, usage approved by AXELOS Limited. All rights reserved.)
The project is approaching the end of stage 2. The project manager may need to consult the senior user and executive about planning the production of the 'artwork', and the 'recorded album'. As a result, the project manager has checked their availability for the following week. Is this appropriate as part of the 'give ad hoc direction' activity, and why? (Copyright © AXELOS Limited 2017, usage approved by AXELOS Limited. All rights reserved.)
The project manager has recommended that a highlight report should be submitted every four weeks. However, as the project manager only joined the company recently, the executive wants to receive a highlight report every week while the sample songs are being recorded. As a result, the project manager has recorded this requirement in the controls section of the project initiation documentation. Is this appropriate, and why? (Copyright © AXELOS Limited 2017, usage approved by AXELOS Limited. All rights reserved.)
An external recording studio will be used to record the sample songs from the start of stage 2. Therefore, the record company's purchasing department needs to carry out the supplier selection process during the initiation stage. The project manager has recommended that the 'controlling a stage' process is used to control the work of the purchasing department. Is this appropriate, and why? (Copyright © AXELOS Limited 2017, usage approved by AXELOS Limited. All rights reserved.)

What should the team manager do first? (Copyright © AXELOS Limited 2017, usage approved by AXELOS Limited. All rights reserved.)
The project is in stage 2. The 'recorded sample songs' have been produced and handed over to the team manager for the focus groups. On the day before the focus group meeting, the team manager discovered that the sound quality of one song was not of the required standard. The team manager spoke to the singer's agent, and the singer will attend the focus group meeting to perform the songs. Is this appropriate application of the 'managing product delivery' process, and why? (Copyright © AXELOS Limited 2017, usage approved by AXELOS Limited. All rights reserved.)
The project is approaching the end of stage 3 and the 'artwork' is taking longer to produce than expected. As a result, an exception report has been sent to the project board. The project board has decided to follow the recommendation of the project manager to increase the time tolerance for the stage. When should the 'managing a stage boundary' process be used next? (Copyright © AXELOS Limited 2017, usage approved by AXELOS Limited. All rights reserved.)
