The Health and Safety Training Project is part of a programme of strategic expansion, which is important for ABC Company’s continued operation. At the end of stage 2, the estimated project costs are greater than the expected benefits in the business case. The project board has reviewed the situation and asked programme management to decide whether the project should be closed prematurely. Is this an appropriate application of the “manage by stages” principle, and why?

  1. Yes, because decisions about closure should be escalated to programme management, unless otherwise instructed.
  2. Yes, because the project board should escalate significant decisions to programme management.
  3. No, because this contradicts the „manage by exception‟ principle.
  4. No, because the project board should decide whether to continue with the project.

The executive has set the following tolerances for stage 2:
Time (+/- 1 week)
Cost (+/- £20,000)
Scope (using MoSCoW prioritization technique)
Risk (based on the risk appetite defined in the risk management approach)

These tolerances have been recorded in the stage plan. The project manager will report progress regularly via highlight reports to the project board and use exception reports to raise exceptions. In addition, the project assurance role will monitor the stage to provide confidence to the project board that exceptions are being reported.

How well does this apply the “manage by exception” principle, and why?

  1. It applies the principle well, because tolerances should be set for the related aspects of project performance for each stage.
  2. It applies the principle well, because the project manager needs to control the project using discrete management stages.
  3. It applies the principle poorly, because tolerances should be set for each stage against each of the six aspects of project performance.
  4. It applies the principle poorly, because it is the regular reporting of progress that should give the project board the required confidence.

  1. Yes, because the goal is to seek opportunities to implement improvements after the life of the project.
  2. Yes, because the project needs to fulfill stakeholder expectations by delivering the products required.
  3. No, because there needs to be an understanding of the products from the start of the project.
  4. No, because existing product descriptions provide a means to estimate effort to planning.

ABC Company has a standard course development model with four defined stages that the company manages using PRINCE2. The project manager for the Health and Safety Training Project has recommended the stage 2 of the standard model be split into two separate stages. As a result, there will now be five management stages in the project.
Is this an appropriate application of the “tailor to suit the project” principle, and why?

  1. Yes, because the project manager can adapt or combine PRINCE2 process to suit the project.
  2. Yes, because the standard course development structure should be tailored to suit the project.
  3. No, because a simple project should have no more than two management stages.
  4. No, because the standard course development structure should be applied to the project.

Answer(s): B
