Question 4

The programme is in the 'design the outcomes' process for the first time. The Research and Development Project team has recommended that UU sources an imported next generation smart meter. This is an alternative to the development of the smart meter internally. The imported meter can be fully implemented before the CEO retires in three years' time. However, there is a possibility that this meter could lead to future information security risks.
Is this recommendation an appropriate application of the 'decisions' theme, and why?

A. No, because there are security risks identified with the option proposed

B. Yes, because the proposed option should gain the CEO's full support

C. No, because a 'do-nothing' option and at least two others should be provided

D. Yes, because providing a clear recommendation should bring pace and value

Question 6

The Employment Contracts Project in Tranche 1 will identify the skills needed by sales staff. However, the Customer Processes Project in Tranche 2 will define new ways to sell gas and electricity to existing water customers which may result in changes to the previously defined skills requirements. If any rework is required, this would delay increasing the number of electricity and gas customers. The programme manager has set up a process to independently monitor the situation, so they can be warned immediately if this becomes likely to happen.
Which principle is being applied MOST by the programme manager when implementing the independent monitoring, and why?

A. Realize measurable benefits, because outcomes of benefit should be embedded at intermediate landing points at the end of each tranche

B. Realize measurable benefits, because assuring risks to the benefits should contribute to improved decision-making

C. Align with priorities, because the business case should be updated as a result of any identified delays to benefits

D. Align with priorities, because the content of Tranche 2 should be changed to reflect any emerging information
