Question 1/101/10
As part of the delivery plan to transition Tranche 2, a team of super users has been established to work with the BCM. They will help staff to transition on to the new IT system. How should the 'knowledge' theme be applied to the ‘embed the outcomes’ process?
Select the answer:Select the answer
1 correct answer
A.
The super users should keep daily journals tracking their personal journeys of managing the transition
B.
The super users should develop a list of Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) for new recruits to PCTech
C.
The BCM should instruct the super users when to conduct training, create user guides, and run user workshops
D.
The BCM should hold regular town hall meetings to allow users to ask questions and learn the answers
The correct answer is B. The question is asking how the "knowledge" theme should be applied during the "embed the outcomes" process. In this context, embedding outcomes means making sure the new way of working and the new IT system are properly adopted and supported after transition. The knowledge theme is about capturing, organizing, and sharing useful information so people can use the new system effectively. Why B is correct: B. The super users should develop a list of Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) for new recruits to PCTech This is the best answer because FAQs are a simple and effective way to capture key knowledge, common issues, and practical guidance. They help new users understand the system quickly and reduce repeated questions. This directly supports knowledge transfer and helps embed the new processes into normal working practice. Why the other options are less suitable: A. The super users should keep daily journals tracking their personal journeys of managing the transition This is more about personal reflection or documenting experience, not about sharing practical knowledge that helps others adopt the system. C. The BCM should instruct the super users when to conduct training, create user guides, and run user workshops This describes managing or directing activities, but it does not specifically apply the knowledge theme. It focuses on control and coordination rather than knowledge capture and dissemination. D. The BCM should hold regular town hall meetings to allow users to ask questions and learn the answers This is a useful communication activity, but it is less structured than FAQs for capturing and reusing knowledge. Town halls may help with engagement, but they are not the most effective way to embed knowledge for ongoing use. In summary: The knowledge theme is best supported by creating reusable reference material such as FAQs, which helps staff and new recruits learn the system and sustain the transition.
Right Answer: B
Quiz
Question 2/102/10
The BCM held a workshop to identify lessons from the transition following the divisional restructure in Tranche 1. These lessons have been captured in the form of case studies in a lessons database. Staff doing the HR Work to reduce staff numbers can now easily access, and apply, this knowledge. Is this action appropriate for the 'embed the outcomes' process, and why?
Select the answer:Select the answer
1 correct answer
A.
Yes, because the BCM should ensure that business as usual is maintained when staff numbers are reduced significantly
B.
Yes, because experiences from Tranche 1 transition should be captured and shared with those doing similar HR work
C.
No, because communications with the HR staff should be planned for in the stakeholder engagement and communications plan
D.
No, because assurance activities should report on the culture and organizational learning reviews conducted by the BCM
The correct answer is B. Why B is correct: The question describes a workshop held to identify lessons from the Tranche 1 transition, with those lessons then captured as case studies in a lessons database. It also says staff involved in the HR work to reduce staff numbers can now access and apply this knowledge easily. That is exactly what “embed the outcomes” is meant to achieve: taking lessons learned from one phase of work and making them available so they can inform similar or future work. In this case, the experience from Tranche 1 has been documented and shared with the people doing the same kind of HR work later on. This helps ensure the knowledge is not lost and can be reused. Why the other options are not correct: A. Yes, because the BCM should ensure that business as usual is maintained when staff numbers are reduced significantly This is too general and does not describe the specific activity in the question. Maintaining business as usual may be important, but the action here is about capturing and sharing lessons, not directly about continuity of operations. C. No, because communications with the HR staff should be planned for in the stakeholder engagement and communications plan This is about planned communication, but the question is about learning from a previous transition and embedding those lessons. The action is not wrong because it involves communication; it is appropriate because it supports organizational learning. D. No, because assurance activities should report on the culture and organizational learning reviews conducted by the BCM This does not fit the scenario. Assurance may review and report on learning activities, but the question asks whether capturing and sharing lessons in a database is appropriate for embedding outcomes. It is, and this option does not address that. In summary: The action is appropriate because it turns lessons from Tranche 1 into usable knowledge for staff carrying out similar work later. That is a clear example of embedding the outcomes.
Right Answer: B
Quiz
Question 3/103/10
At the end of Tranche 1, the PCTech CEO informed the programme manager that two rival companies were considering a similar merger. If this happens, it may negatively impact the benefits resulting from the Merger Programme. In which activity of the ‘evaluate new information’ process would this be identified?
Select the answer:Select the answer
1 correct answer
A.
Analyse current state vs. target operating model
B.
Review programme environment
C.
Prepare for the next process
D.
Agree to proceed or close
The correct answer is B. Review programme environment. The question describes a new external development: rival companies are considering a similar merger. This is not about the programme’s internal progress or comparing its current state to its target operating model. Instead, it is an environmental change outside the programme that could affect the expected benefits of the merger programme. In the “evaluate new information” process, the activity that identifies changes like this is Review programme environment. This activity looks at external factors, assumptions, risks, and market conditions that may influence the programme’s future benefits or viability. Why the other options are not correct: A. Analyse current state vs. target operating model This focuses on comparing the present situation with the desired future state. It is more about internal gap analysis than external market changes. C. Prepare for the next process This is about readying the information and outputs for the following step, not identifying the impact of external competitor actions. D. Agree to proceed or close This is the decision stage after evaluating information. The issue in the question would be identified before reaching that decision. So, the rival merger announcement would be picked up during Review programme environment, making B the best answer.
Right Answer: B
Quiz
Question 4/104/10
At the end of Tranche 1, it was decided that the possibility of the staff rejecting the new terms and conditions was now greatly decreased. Which theme is being applied to the ‘evaluate new information’ process?
Select the answer:Select the answer
1 correct answer
A.
Design
B.
Justification
C.
Knowledge
D.
Assurance
The correct answer is A. Design. Here’s why: The phrase says that by the end of Tranche 1, it was decided that the chance of staff rejecting the new terms and conditions had “greatly decreased.” This means new information was used to reassess the situation and reduce uncertainty about the outcome. In the context of the “evaluate new information” process, the theme being applied is Design because this theme is about using evidence, analysis, and updated information to shape decisions and refine plans. The decision-making process is being adjusted based on what has been learned, which fits Design best. Why the other options are not correct: B. Justification This would focus on explaining or defending a decision, rather than evaluating new information to update the assessment. C. Knowledge This is broader and refers to information or understanding, but it does not specifically describe the theme used in evaluating new information. D. Assurance This relates more to confidence, checks, or guarantees, not the process of reassessing risk based on new evidence. So the best answer is A. Design because the statement reflects using new information to redesign or refine the evaluation of the situation.
Right Answer: A

Question 5/105/10
The programme is closing as planned. The programme office lead discovers that the programme files do not contain the latest version of the building layouts from the Estates/Buildings Rationalization Project, even though the work has been completed. These layouts are needed to complete the documentation of the target operating model and to allow the buildings to be maintained. These have been requested from the project delivery team but have not yet been delivered. The SRO has decided to disband the team and recommend that the sponsoring group formally close the programme and has announced that the programme has achieved its goals. Is this an appropriate action for the SRO to take, and why?
Select the answer:Select the answer
1 correct answer
A.
Yes, because the incomplete documentation of the target operating model can be handed over to business operations to finalize
B.
Yes, because the rationalization of the buildings is complete and can be handed over to business operations
C.
No, because the programme needs to be closed in a controlled manner, to ensure a smooth handover
D.
No, because the target operating model should be fully delivered and documented before closing the final tranche
The correct answer is D. Reasoning: The key issue in this question is that the programme is not fully complete if essential deliverables are still missing. Although the Estates/Buildings Rationalization Project work has been completed, the latest building layouts have not been delivered into the programme files. Those layouts are needed for two important reasons: 1. To complete the documentation of the target operating model 2. To allow the buildings to be maintained properly That means the programme has not yet achieved full closure readiness. A programme should not be declared complete just because the major work appears finished. The final outputs, documentation, and handover materials must also be in place so that the business can operate and maintain the change effectively. Why D is correct: D says that the target operating model should be fully delivered and documented before closing the final tranche. This matches good programme management practice. Closing the final tranche or the programme itself before all required documentation and supporting assets are complete would leave the organisation with an incomplete handover and possible operational risk. Why the other options are wrong: A. Yes, because the incomplete documentation of the target operating model can be handed over to business operations to finalize This is not appropriate because the programme should not hand over unfinished critical documentation and assume operations will complete it. The programme is responsible for ensuring proper closure and handover. B. Yes, because the rationalization of the buildings is complete and can be handed over to business operations This focuses only on the completion of the physical work and ignores the missing deliverables. Programme closure requires more than just the completion of implementation activities. C. No, because the programme needs to be closed in a controlled manner, to ensure a smooth handover This is true in general, but it is not the best answer here. It is too generic. The question specifically highlights that the target operating model documentation is incomplete, so the more precise reason is that the target operating model must be fully delivered and documented before closure. In summary: The SRO should not formally close the programme yet. The missing building layouts are necessary programme outputs, and the target operating model must be complete and documented before the final tranche and programme can be properly closed.

Question 6/106/10
The programme is in the 'plan progressive delivery' process. The SRO is concerned that there may be resistance from staff. In particular, the PCSafe sales team is worried that they will lose their current sales bonus once their team has been combined with the TechStore sales team. As a result, the programme manager has asked the BCM to explain to his staff how the merger will lead to PCTech being able to compete more effectively and deliver increased sales. Is this an appropriate application of the 'lead with purpose' principle, and why?
Select the answer:Select the answer
1 correct answer
A.
Yes, because the sales staff should understand the current plans and associated risks
B.
Yes, because the Sales Manager is the most appropriate person to communicate the desired outcomes
C.
No, because the SRO is responsible for communicating the desired outcomes to stakeholders
D.
No, because this is an identified risk that should be managed by the programme manager
The correct answer is B. Why B is correct “Lead with purpose” means providing clear direction and making sure people understand why the change is happening, what the intended benefits are, and how it supports the organization’s goals. In this case, the programme manager has asked the BCM to explain to the staff how the merger will help PCTech compete more effectively and increase sales. That is appropriate because: - The sales manager is close to the affected staff and is well placed to communicate in a way they will understand. - The message is about the desired outcomes of the change, which helps build support and reduce resistance. - Staff are more likely to trust and engage with the explanation when it comes from their line management rather than only from the programme team. Why the other options are not correct A. Yes, because the sales staff should understand the current plans and associated risks This is too general. While staff should be informed, the question is specifically about whether explaining the merger’s benefits is an appropriate use of “lead with purpose.” The issue is not simply about plans and risks, but about communicating the purpose and benefits of the change. C. No, because the SRO is responsible for communicating the desired outcomes to stakeholders The SRO is accountable for the programme overall, but communication does not have to come only from the SRO. In practice, managers and leaders closer to the people affected by the change often communicate the message more effectively. So this is not a reason to say the approach is inappropriate. D. No, because this is an identified risk that should be managed by the programme manager Although resistance from staff is indeed a risk, addressing it through clear communication is part of managing the change. This does not make the use of “lead with purpose” inappropriate. In fact, explaining the benefits of the merger is a good way to reduce that risk. Summary This is an appropriate application of “lead with purpose” because the sales manager is helping staff understand the purpose and benefits of the merger, which supports commitment to the change. Therefore, B is the best answer.

Question 7/107/10
A series of workshops are scheduled during the ‘design the outcomes’ process to bring together key resources from both organizations. The workshops will allow a wide range of experts to agree their shared definition of streamlined processes across PCTech, and the efficiencies that these will lead to. Which principle is being applied, and why?
Select the answer:Select the answer
1 correct answer
A.
Collaborate across boundaries, because the two organizations should understand the range of skills they need to supply for developing the target operating model and benefits
B.
Collaborate across boundaries, because the two organizations need to work together to create a clear understanding of the future state and stay focused on the benefits
C.
Deal with ambiguity, because involving key resources from both organizations will enable access to the right information regarding the streamlined processes
D.
Deal with ambiguity, because involving resources from both organizations in the same workshops will avoid duplicated work in the future
The correct answer is B. Why B is correct: The scenario describes workshops that bring together key resources from both organizations so they can agree on a shared definition of streamlined processes and the efficiencies those processes will deliver. This is a clear example of collaborating across boundaries, because the two organizations are working together to create a common understanding of the future state and keep attention on the intended benefits. This fits principle B exactly: - The organizations are collaborating, not working in isolation. - The aim is to define the future state clearly. - The workshops are focused on ensuring agreement and alignment around benefits and efficiencies. Why the other options are not correct: A is incorrect because it talks about understanding the range of skills needed to supply the target operating model and benefits. That is not the main point of the scenario. The key issue is joint understanding and agreement on the future state, not identifying skills. C is incorrect because dealing with ambiguity is not the main principle here. The workshops are not primarily about coping with uncertainty; they are about shared collaboration and agreement. D is incorrect because it again refers to dealing with ambiguity and avoiding duplicated work. While duplication may be reduced as a result, that is not the principle being demonstrated in the question. Summary: The workshops are a cross-organization collaboration designed to build shared understanding of the future process and benefits, so the principle being applied is collaborate across boundaries.

Question 8/108/10
Due to the high-risk nature of this acquisition, it has been decided that the business case for the Merger Programme should present three-point estimates, showing the best-case, most-likely and worst-case scenarios for costs and benefits. Is this an appropriate application of the ‘deal with ambiguity’ principle, and why?
Select the answer:Select the answer
1 correct answer
A.
Yes, because the use of three-point estimates allows the business case to remain relevant to the changing business needs, without needing to update it
B.
Yes, because the use of three-point estimates reflects the uncertainty with the estimates, giving PCTech a clear understanding when making the investment decision
C.
No, because the PCTech directors need to feel confident that the benefits in the business case are realistic and the costs are fully justified
D.
No, because a single estimate of benefits and costs is needed to perform the net present value calculations used to justify the investment in the programme
The correct answer is B. The “deal with ambiguity” principle means that when there is uncertainty, the business case should not pretend that one exact figure is known. Instead, it should acknowledge the range of possible outcomes and present uncertainty clearly so decision-makers understand the risks. Three-point estimates do exactly that. By showing: - best-case - most-likely - worst-case the business case reflects the fact that costs and benefits are uncertain, especially in a high-risk acquisition. This gives PCTech a clearer and more realistic basis for making an investment decision. Why B is correct: - It recognises uncertainty rather than hiding it. - It gives decision-makers a more complete view of the possible outcomes. - It supports better risk-based decision-making. Why the other options are not correct: A is not correct because three-point estimates are not mainly about keeping the business case unchanged over time. They are about expressing uncertainty, not avoiding updates. C is not correct because confidence in realism is not the key point of the “deal with ambiguity” principle. The principle is about representing uncertainty honestly, not simply making directors feel reassured. D is not correct because a single estimate is not required to justify the investment. In fact, using only one estimate can be misleading in uncertain situations. Three-point estimates are often more appropriate when calculating expected values or assessing risk. In summary: Yes, this is an appropriate application of the “deal with ambiguity” principle because three-point estimates clearly show uncertainty and help the decision-makers understand the range of possible costs and benefits.

Quiz
Question 9/109/10
The programme is in the 'deliver the capabilities' process in Tranche 1. The sponsoring group is concerned because cultural issues caused major problems in a previous merger involving PCSafe. The SRO has, therefore, asked the programme manager to reschedule the Culture Alignment Project to finish before the Divisional Restructure Project. The programme manager has stated that this is not possible as both projects rely heavily on the same resources, and the Divisional Restructure Project has already started. As a result, the programme manager has recommended that the programme plans remain unchanged. Is the programme manager's recommendation an appropriate application of the ‘align with priorities’ principle, and why?
Select the answer:Select the answer
1 correct answer
A.
Yes, because projects already underway in Tranche 1 should be given priority access to resources
B.
Yes, because resources should be controlled at the project level, once the project has started
C.
No, because resources should be re-allocated in response to the organization's changing needs
D.
No, because it is the SRO's responsibility to allocate resources to the programme's projects
The correct answer is C. Why C is correct The “align with priorities” principle means that the programme should use its resources in a way that best supports the organisation’s current priorities and expected benefits, not simply keep the original plan unchanged when circumstances change. In this scenario: - The sponsoring group is worried about cultural issues because of problems in a previous merger. - The SRO has asked for the Culture Alignment Project to be moved earlier, before the Divisional Restructure Project. - That request reflects a change in what is most important to the organisation now. - The programme manager says this cannot be done because both projects need the same resources and one has already started. That reasoning is not a good application of the principle, because priorities can change and resources should be adjusted accordingly. If culture alignment is now more critical to success, the programme should consider re-planning and reallocating resources to reflect that need. Why the other options are wrong A. Yes, because projects already underway in Tranche 1 should be given priority access to resources This is too rigid. The fact that a project has already started does not automatically mean it should keep priority if organisational needs have changed. Programme management is about delivering the best overall outcome, not protecting started work at all costs. B. Yes, because resources should be controlled at the project level, once the project has started This is incorrect because resource allocation is a programme-level concern, not something that should be left entirely to individual projects once they begin. The programme manager should coordinate resources across projects to ensure alignment with priorities. D. No, because it is the SRO's responsibility to allocate resources to the programme's projects This is not the best answer because, although the SRO has overall accountability for the programme, the issue here is not about who has formal authority alone. The key point is that the programme manager should respond to changing organisational priorities by recommending a revised plan. The programme manager’s refusal to change the plan is what makes the recommendation inappropriate. Summary The recommendation is not appropriate because it fails to realign the plan with the organisation’s current priorities. Resources should be reallocated if needed to ensure the most important benefits are delivered first. Therefore, C is correct.

Question 10/1010/10
The programme is nearing the end of Tranche 1. The SRO is reviewing plans for the end of tranche review. Neither PCSafe nor TechStore have any experience of merger programmes. As a result, the SRO has decided to use an external consultant with merger experience to conduct some of the review and make recommendations. Is this an appropriate application of the ‘deploy diverse skills’ principle, and why?
Select the answer:Select the answer
1 correct answer
A.
Yes, because end-of-tranche reviews are key decision points in the programme, led by the SRO
B.
Yes, because assurance activities should be allocated to resources with specialist skills, if required
C.
No, because end-of-tranche activities should be planned by the programme manager in the delivery plan
D.
No, because it is the responsibility of the sponsoring group to make decisions at end-of- tranche reviews
The correct answer is B. This is an appropriate application of the “deploy diverse skills” principle because the SRO is choosing to bring in specialist external expertise where the internal organisations do not have the necessary experience. Why B is correct: The principle of deploying diverse skills means using the right mix of capabilities and experience across the programme. If PCSafe and TechStore do not have merger-programme experience, then using an external consultant with relevant merger experience for the end-of-tranche review is sensible. End-of-tranche reviews often involve assurance, independent assessment, and recommendations about whether the programme should continue, change direction, or stop. Those are tasks that benefit from specialist skills, especially when the internal team lacks that expertise. Why the other options are wrong: A. Yes, because end-of-tranche reviews are key decision points in the programme, led by the SRO This is true in general that end-of-tranche reviews are key decision points and the SRO leads them, but it does not explain the “deploy diverse skills” principle. The question is about whether using an external consultant is appropriate, and the key issue is specialist capability, not simply that the review is important or SRO-led. C. No, because end-of-tranche activities should be planned by the programme manager in the delivery plan This is incorrect because planning by the programme manager does not prevent the SRO from using external specialist support for review and assurance. The issue is not who plans the activity, but whether the right skills are being deployed to perform it well. D. No, because it is the responsibility of the sponsoring group to make decisions at end-of-tranche reviews This is incorrect because, while the sponsoring group may be involved in governance and decisions, the question is about whether external specialist support is appropriate. The use of a consultant to conduct part of the review is still valid if it improves the quality of assurance and recommendations. In summary: The external consultant is being used to provide specialist merger experience that the internal teams lack, which is exactly what the “deploy diverse skills” principle is about.
