While preparing the risk management approach, the project manager holds a workshop to review the project context: the historic surroundings, sustainability targets and the need to minimize disruption to residents and businesses.
Is this an appropriate application of the risk practice, and why?

• A. Yes, because understanding the project's context and objectives is necessary to design a risk management approach
• B. Yes, because the contextual statement is itself a complete set of cause-event-effect risk descriptions
• C. No, because project objectives should not influence how risk is managed
• D. No, because risk responses must be selected before the risk management approach can be fully prepared

ISSUES
During stage 1, BuildyBrick was appointed by the procurement team manager as the main contractor for the project. The project is now in stage 3 and BuildyBrick is part way through the site preparation. Following an environmental survey report, BuildyBrick will have to delay the site clearance by several weeks to enable protected amphibians to be relocated. There are two options to deal with this issue. The first is to wait for BuildyBrick to clear the site, but this will take longer. The second is to hire an additional contractor to clear the site more quickly, but this will cost more. Both of these options can be completed within cost and time tolerances, but appointing an additional contractor is beyond the project manager's delegated authority.
Here are three actions related to the resolution of this issue.
Which role (A-E) should be responsible for each action?
Choose only ONE role for each action. Each role can be used once, more than once, or not at all.

• A. Senior user
• B. Project executive
• C. Project manager
  Action 1:
  Review the issue report and decide which response should be authorized.
  Action 2:
  After the decision is made, update the issue record with the selected response and decision.
  Action 3:
  Once the appointment is authorized, confirm that the supplier resources required for the additional site- clearance work can be provided.
• D. Project assurance
• E. Senior supplier

While preparing the project plan, the project manager and BuildyBrick's planning specialist use the product flow and data from previous projects to determine that the utilities and systems can be delivered in parallel as separate work packages.
Is this an appropriate application of the 'plans' practice, and why?

• A. No, because work delivered by the same supplier must be scheduled sequentially and should avoid running in parallel
• B. No, because setting work-package tolerances determines the order in which products must be produced
• C. Yes, because product dependencies determine sequence, and independent work packages may be planned to run in parallel
• D. Yes, because data from previous projects should determine the schedule without reviewing the dependencies between the products
