The delivery of the pilot courses has been split into two separate products: 'planned pilot courses' and 'delivered pilot courses'. 'Planned pilot courses' will be produced during stage 3, and the 'delivered pilot courses' will take place during stage 4. This will allow the project board to approve the plan for the pilot courses before the resources are committed to delivering the pilot courses.
Why is this an appropriate application of the plans theme to control the project?
This is an appropriate application of the plans theme to control the project because the delivery steps for the pilot courses have been aligned to the management stages. This alignment allows for better planning and control as it ensures that the project board can approve the plan for the pilot courses before resources are committed to their delivery. This approach helps in managing the project in stages, which is a key principle of PRINCE2, ensuring a structured and controlled progression through the project lifecycle.
D In this scenario, splitting the delivery of the pilot courses into two separate products and aligning them to the management stages is an appropriate application of the ‘Plans’ theme. This allows for better planning, monitoring, and control of the project’s progress and quality. It also enables the project board to review and approve the plan for the pilot courses before committing resources to their delivery. This aligns with PRINCE2’s principle of ‘Manage by Stages’, where the project is planned, monitored, and controlled on a stage-by-stage basis
D seems to be the most apocopate option amongst the all.
