Scenario

Additional Information

During the initiation stage the Project Manager met with the Marketing Director to find out more
about the requirements of the promotional calendar and recorded the following notes:

There has been a reduction in the order numbers at the MNO Manufacturing due in part to the
increased marketing activities of its competitors. 10% of customers have not re-ordered in this
financial year and staff morale is poor. A number of skilled staff have left as a result and
replacement staff have not been recruited due to the reduced operation. If the project is
successful, a recruitment campaign will be required to fill the existing staff vacancies and there
may be a requirement for additional staff. Operational costs are likely to increase because skilled
staff are expensive and difficult to find.

In financial terms, there were a total of 1,500 orders in the last financial year, each with an
average profit of £2k. The Marketing department believes that sending a promotional calendar to
our current and prospective customers would increase orders by at least 10% with a minimum of
10 further orders from the list of prospective customers within 12 months from the date of
distribution.

The Marketing Director will be funding the project from the business marketing budget. She
believes that the effect of a good company image portrayed by a successful calendar would last
into a second year. She has forecast the same increase in orders for a second year and predicts
that the annual employee satisfaction survey will show a measurable improvement in staff morale.

A number of alternatives were explored, including:

- 20% discount for all repeat customers - not cost-effective and very short term
- A promotional calendar as a free Christmas gift - would target current and prospective
customers and the benefits would last into a second year
- A series of television and press advertisements was too expensive
- A direct mail shot to all customers - benefit would be short term
- Creation of an internet website - would not suit all customers

The calendar is seen as the favored option, as long as the company's competitors do not increase
their marketing activity. Whilst the Marketing department wants a very high quality, glossy product,
the project management team must be aware of the cost this will incur.

Which 2 statements should be recorded under the Reasons heading?

A. The Marketing department believes that sending a promotional calendar to current and
prospective customers will increase orders by at least 10%.

Scenario

A central government department, the Ministry of Food Hygiene (MFH), faces increasing pressure
to cut costs, better manage suppliers’ performance and reduce the confusion caused by
inadequate internal controls, outdated standards and outdated technology. External consultants
were employed to conduct a feasibility study to identify options to address the problems, and the
likely costs and benefits. The following options were considered:

Do nothing.

Re-engineer selected business functions.

Outsource selected business functions.

The feasibility study concluded that there was a case for outsourcing the MFH Information
Technology

Division and the Facilities Division (maintenance of buildings and grounds). The recommendations
were:

One service provider should be contracted to provide the services currently provided by the

Information Technology Division and the Facilities Division.

"Pass Any Exam. Any Time." - www.actualtests.com 17

 PRINCE2 PRINCE2 Practitioner Exam
A 10-year service contract should be agreed with the selected service provider.

The feasibility study developed high-level designs of the current organization, processes, systems
and

operating models, plus an outline Business Case for the required project. The external consultants

also made the following recommendations for the management of the project:

Use PRINCE2.

Set up the project with 4 management stages:

Stage 1. Standard PRINCE2 initiation activities.

Stage 2. Create detailed designs (future organization, processes, systems and operating

models) and the service level agreement between MFH and the future service

provider.

Stage 3. Request and evaluate proposals, select service provider and agree contract.

Stage 4. Transfer equipment and staff, transfer responsibility for service provision and run

trial period.

Initial estimates indicated that the project would cost £2.5m and take two years to complete.

MFH senior management agreed that there was a case for outsourcing, and accepted the

recommendations as a basis for the project. There is an expected saving of £20m over 10 years.

The Outsourcing project has completed the Starting up a Project process and is now in the
initiation stage. Because of the strategic importance of the project, the MFH Chief Executive
Officer has taken the role of Executive. A PRINCE2-experienced Project Manager has been
appointed from within MFH. Staff within the business functions being outsourced will work with the
external consultants who conducted the feasibility study to define the detailed designs.

Which 2 statements should be recorded under the Reasons heading?

A. The lack of up-to-date technology in MFH means a re-engineering of existing services will not
necessarily deliver the performance improvements required.

"Pass Any Exam. Any Time." - www.actualtests.com 18

B. Providing re-engineered services in-house will remove the need to transfer staff to a service
provider.
C. The Ministry of Food Hygiene (MFH) needs to deal with the increasing pressure to cut costs
and better manage supplier's performance.
D. Relocating staff to the selected service provider's premises will mean that no property transfer
is required.
E. The inadequate controls, outdated standards and outdated technology must be addressed.

 PRINCE2 PRINCE2 Practitioner Exam
part to the increased marketing activities of its competitors. To help counter this, the company has
decided to create a promotional calendar for next year for all its current and prospective
customers. The end product of this project will be a prepared calendar pack, ready for printing.
The design of the calendar will be similar to one sent out previously, and must reflect the company
image as described in the existing corporate branding standards. Another project is currently
producing a new company logo when is to be printed on each page of the promotional calendar.
The prepared calendar pack will consist of:

- Design for each month - correctly showing at public holidays and new company logo
- Selected photographs- 12 professionally-produced photographs, showing different members of
staff
- Selected paper and selected envelope - for printing and mailing the calendar
- Chosen label design - a competition to design a label will be held as part of this project
- List of customers - names and addresses of customers to whom the calendar will be sent.

The project is currently in initiation and will have two further stages:

Stage 2 will include tie activities to:

- Create the customer fast using information from the Accounts and Marketing departments
- Confirm compliance with the Data Protection Legislation
- Create a design for each month - this will be done by the internal creative team
- Select and appoint a professional photographer
- Gather photograph design ideas from previous project and agree photographic session schedule
- Prepare a production cost forecast
- Select paper and envelope.

Stage 3 will include the activities to:

- Produce and select tie professionally-taken photographs

- Hold the label design competition and choose the label design
- Assemble the prepared calendar pack.

A production cost forecast, based on the options and costs for the paper, envelope, printing and
marketing of the calendar is to be produced in stage 2. However, the actual production and
distribution of the calendars is not within the scope of the project. The product cost forecast will be
reviewed by the Project Board to determine whether tie project should continue.

It is now 05 October and the prepared calendar pack must be delivered to the print company by 30
November, to enable printing and distribution of the calendar in time for Christmas. The cost of the
activities to develop the specialist products and the cost of the project management activities are
estimated to be £20,000. There is a project time tolerance of +1 week /-2 weeks and a project cost
tolerance of +£6,000 / -£6,000. A change budget of £500 has been allocated but there is no risk
budget.

At the end of initiation there is +1 week 1-2 weeks time tolerance for this project. Which statement
is true?

A. There can be no time tolerances for any of the stages.
B. All of the project level time tolerance can be allocated to stage 2.
