Question 1
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:
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.
Staff Training - Additional information
The event will be supervised primarily by LGA staff volunteers. They will need to be trained in various skills so that:
A . the event is carried out safely and professionally;
B . staff members are able to give advice on health and fitness.
This is covered by four work packages:
1. Training syllabus:
* High-level design of the manual.
* Content of each module.
2. Course content for safety and professionalism:
* Detailed design of two modules:
* Health and Safety including basic first aid.
* Customer relations to look after people attending the event.
* Piloting the modules with a group of volunteers.
3. Course content tor giving advice on health and fitness:
* Detailed design of two modules:
* Exercise fundamentals including how to warm up and cool down.
* Healthy eating including what types of food are good for you.
* Piloting the modules with a group of volunteers.
4. Training delivery:
* Production of the training manual;
* Delivery of the training to the rest of the volunteers.
The Staff Training Team is staffed by in-house training staff members that have been involved in several waterfall projects but have not had any exposure to agile.
Using the Project Scenario and Staff Training Additional information, answer the following question:
The Staff Training Team have developed the following user story:
'As the LGA, I want all volunteers to have received mandatory health and safety training so that we can ensure that the event takes place in a safe environment for the public.'
Which reason explains why the team should deliver the user story in accordance with the 'be on time and hit deadlines' target?
Answer : B
Timely delivery of the health and safety training is crucial to ensure that all volunteers are adequately prepared before the event. Meeting this deadline is essential for ensuring a safe environment for the public during the football tournament, making it a priority to adhere to the schedule.

3. Social media promoting the event and its aims.
4. Applications (apps) to promote healthy lifestyles including fitness and healthy eating apps.
5. Health Park:
The Website Team have a lot of experience in IT and have been using agile for several years. They are delivering the website through five two-week timeboxes. The team uses a Scrum Master to facilitate and the Scrum process and coach people accordingly.
The Website Team are very good at Scrum. They have created a set of tasks to assess more difficult work and they refer to this as sprint zero.
Using the Project Scenario and Website Additional information, answer the following question:
During the 'initiating a project' process, the project manager has decided to use the Cynefin framework to assess the project.
As a result, the following observation was made as part of the assessment:
'There is a relationship between the social media websites promoting active lifestyles and participation in sport. This in turn leads to an increase in the health and fitness of the people.
It will not be possible to measure the effect of the social media websites until after the project. The results of early communications on the websites should be reviewed in order to identify what effect it may be having, and why. This will then feed into further longer term initiatives at the LGA.'
How should this relationship be assessed according to the Cynefin framework?
Answer : C
In the complex domain, cause-and-effect relationships are not immediately apparent and can only be understood in retrospect. The relationship between social media websites promoting active lifestyles and their effect on health and fitness is not straightforward, as it involves multiple interacting factors. Since it will not be possible to measure the impact until after the project, the focus should be on observing and analyzing early communications and their effects. This aligns with the Cynefin framework's recommendation to probe, sense, and respond, allowing for adaptive management based on feedback and insights gained throughout the project.

In order to assess the prevailing agile environment, the project manager made use of the Agilometer. A summary of the results from canvassing the views of key stakeholders involved in the Event Village is provided below:
Slider
Which observation is appropriate at this point?
Answer : B
The scores indicate a mixed but generally positive view of the agile environment, with certain areas like flexibility and advantageous conditions scoring well. While collaboration and communication could improve, the overall results suggest that there is a foundation for adopting Agile behaviors, concepts, and techniques within the project. This supports the notion of continuing with agile practices while focusing on areas that need enhancement.
Question 5
Which describes a characteristic of business as usual (BAU) work?
Answer : A
Routine Operations: BAU encompasses the standard activities and processes that are necessary for the daily functioning of an organization. This includes tasks that are performed regularly and consistently to maintain services, products, and overall operations.
Regular Modifications: BAU work often involves minor updates or modifications to existing products or services. These modifications are typically routine in nature, aimed at improving efficiency, fixing issues, or adapting to changes in the environment without major disruption.
Maintenance and Support: BAU includes maintenance tasks such as monitoring systems, providing customer support, and ensuring compliance with regulations. These tasks ensure that existing products and services continue to function effectively.
Predictable and Structured: Unlike projects that may have a defined start and end date, BAU work is ongoing and tends to follow established procedures. This predictability helps organizations manage their resources effectively.
Focus on Stability: The goal of BAU work is to maintain stability within the organization. While it may involve some level of change (like routine modifications), the primary focus is on ensuring that existing operations run smoothly.

Using the Project Scenario and Event Village Additional information, answer the following question:
A requirement for the changing room facilities in the Event Village has been defined as a technical story as follows:
'Changing room facilities should have water pressure between 1.5 - 3 bar and must have a water pressure of at least between 0.1 - 0.5 bar.'
Has this requirement been recorded correctly?
Answer : C
Non-functional requirements, such as performance criteria (in this case, water pressure), should typically be included as part of the user stories to ensure they are considered in the context of the overall functionality and user experience. This integration helps maintain a holistic view of what the system should deliver, ensuring that both functional and non-functional aspects are addressed together.
