What does the MSP principle 'bring pace and value' emphasize?

Focusing on long-term value only

Prioritizing speed over all other considerations

Delivering all benefits at the end of the programme

Balancing speed of delivery with the continuous realization of benefits

A retail company is running a programme to unify its online and in-store customer experience. The IT team has built a prototype, but the marketing and store operations teams were not consulted and have raised concerns about how it will affect their processes. The programme manager needs to get the programme back on track. Which action best applies the principle of collaborating across boundaries?

Hold a workshop with IT, marketing, and store operations to jointly review the prototype and incorporate their feedback.

Document the concerns and address them after the prototype is fully deployed.

Ask the sponsor to mandate that all teams accept the prototype as-is to avoid delays.

Proceed with the prototype because IT has the technical expertise to deliver the solution.

A healthcare provider is running a programme to implement a new electronic health record system. The programme has delivered the system on time, but the board is asking for evidence of value. The programme manager needs to demonstrate the programme's success. Which action best applies the principle of realizing measurable benefits?

Conduct a user satisfaction survey and share the positive feedback.

Report that the system was delivered on time and within budget.

Measure and report on the defined benefits, such as reduced patient wait times and improved data accuracy.

Ask the project teams to confirm that all deliverables were completed.

How does the MSP principle of 'aligning with priorities' ensure a programme remains relevant?

By avoiding changes to the programme scope

By prioritizing projects based on their cost

By ensuring all projects have equal priority

By focusing on the most important organizational objectives and strategy

In a programme facing unclear requirements, which approach best applies 'dealing with ambiguity'?

Assigning a single person to define all requirements

Waiting for complete certainty before starting any work

Proceeding with detailed planning based on assumptions

Engaging stakeholders to clarify and refine requirements over time
