PRINCE2-Practitioner Dumps Questions With Valid Answers

Project Scenario
Calendar Project (Note: The companies and people within the scenario are fictional.)
There has been a reduction in fie number of orders at the MNO Manufacturing Company
due in 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.
