Which is a benefit that can be realized by a PRINCE2 organization seeking to adopt PRINCE2 Agile?

  1. Comprehensive documentation is reduced as working software is a priority.
  2. Reduced number of roles by combining project manager with team manager.
  3. Lower cost of ownership throughout the life of the project's delivered product(s).
  4. Improved maintenance of a business case throughout the project

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

This benefit reflects the Agile principle of prioritizing working software over extensive documentation, which can lead to more efficient project delivery.



Which is a reason for 'blending and weaving' PRINCE2 with agile at all levels within a project?

  1. To adjust a 'command and control' culture for product delivery.
  2. Projects should be established with the intention of NOT delivering everything.
  3. To allow teams to self-organize whilst staying in control.
  4. PRINCE2 Agile is NOT a substitute for PRINCE2.

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

This approach enables teams to adopt Agile practices while maintaining the governance and structure provided by PRINCE2, promoting both flexibility and control in project delivery.



Project scenario - Get fit with football!

Note: The companies and people within the scenario are fictional)

Introduction:

A Local Government Authority (LGA) has decided to organize a six-a-side football tournament. The tournament will contribute towards achieving the targets set by a national initiative to improve the fitness of children under the age of 16. As part of the LGA's policy of self-funding, this has to be achieved at zero cost to the LGA (and therefore the local tax payer). The cost of the event will be covered through fees paid by teams registered to take part in the tournament, sponsorship and monies raised during the day. Any surplus would be used for the maintenance of local sports centres.

Teams can register under one of several age groups for both boys and girls. In addition, family members are asked to attend to provide support.

This sports event is designed to be a family day out. The football tournament will have an event village including a kidz'-zone, catering, car parking, mobile changing rooms and toilets. The tournament will take place on the LGA-owned football pitches near the centre of the town, although space is somewhat limited.

Scope:

The initial scope of the project includes:

a marketing campaign to promote the event;

a celebrity to open the event;

a website to provide information about the event and handle applications;

an event village to support the 'family day out';

the training of LGA staff as volunteers to run and support the event;

back-office processes to handle the applications;

fundraising to cover the cost of the event.

The project has been set up with four work streams to deliver this work:

1. Marketing
2. Website
3. Event Village
4. Staff Training

Project Background:

The LGA have extensive experience in using PRINCE2 and will run the event as a single project. The project manager is fully conversant with PRINCE2 Agile. One office in the LGA building in the centre of town has been given to the project for the entire duration. The office is across the corridor from the Marketing Department and the project manager has already put a sign on the door that says 'Mission Control'.

Timeline:

An initial timeline has been suggested and is shown in the following diagram. The timeline may evolve due to the agile ways of working. The timeline shows how work streams are broken down into work packages and/or timeboxes.



Marketing - Additional information:

The marketing campaign has two key areas to promote:

1. The event itself including the football tournament, event village and fundraising activities.
2. The LGA's long term aim to improve the fitness of children under the age of 16.

The Marketing Team has received some initial Scrum training but is unsure how it can be applied to their marketing work.

The Marketing Team is keen that the project manager provides them with a clear brief for the campaign before they spend too much time on it.

They have experience of working with a variety of marketing channels, although they are not sure which channel(s) will work most effectively to promote this type of event, and in particular to promote the LGA's longer term health aims.

The Marketing Team is not clear on the priority to assign to the two aims for the event.

The Marketing Team will publish advertisements and/or promotional material every week, with more information in each issue to keep the message up to date.

Nine releases are scheduled at the end of each of the nine week-long timeboxes.

The nine timeboxes within the marketing work stream are scheduled to include:

advertisements:

a radio interview;

production of a hand-out/flyer;

banners and signs to put up around the town and at the event;

the provision of a website and social media content;

promotional posters to be displayed by local businesses.

Using the Project Scenario and Marketing Additional information, answer the following question:

Which approach BEST outlines how to apply the 'continued business justification' principle during the initiation stage?

  1. Plan to publish a simple advertisement within a few days of timebox one to get feedback.
  2. Request that the Head of the LGA confirms that the funding is available.
  3. Plan a 'Design the Best Poster' competition in schools to encourage fitness awareness in children.
  4. Define a brief for the marketing campaign with costings for the use of each marketing approach.

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

Continued business justification ensures that the project remains viable throughout its life cycle. By confirming that funding is available, the project manager ensures that there are sufficient resources to support the project, aligning with the principle of maintaining justification for the project's continuation.

Using the Project Scenario and Marketing Additional information, answer the following question:

The project manager recommends that Stage 2 should be broken down further with more stage boundaries linked to the weekly publication of a newspaper advertisement.

Using the Timeline, which statement BEST evaluates this proposal in relation to the 'manage by stages' principle?

  1. It applies the principle well because short stage boundaries provide more opportunity for inter- team collaboration.
  2. It applies the principle well because short stage boundaries will enable the project to fail-fast and learn-fast.
  3. It applies the principle poorly because stage boundaries should be set at the beginning of each new timebox.
  4. It applies the principle poorly because the stage boundaries should typically be monthly on a three-month project.

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

The 'manage by stages' principle emphasizes breaking the project into manageable stages to assess progress and adapt as necessary. By creating shorter stage boundaries linked to the weekly publication of advertisements, the project can quickly identify issues and adjust strategies, fostering a learn-fast approach.
