A technology company is running a programme to develop a new artificial intelligence product. The market is evolving rapidly, and there is significant uncertainty about customer needs and the regulatory environment. The programme has a fixed budget and a deadline to launch within 12 months. The programme manager needs to decide how to approach the development. What is the best strategy?

Focus on delivering a single, perfect product at the end of the 12 months, without interim releases.

Use an agile approach with iterative releases, allowing the programme to adapt to feedback and changes.

Define all requirements upfront and follow a waterfall approach to ensure certainty.

Delay the launch until the regulatory environment is clear, even if it means missing the deadline.

What is the main intent of the MSP principle 'Collaborate across boundaries'?

To ensure all work is aligned with corporate strategy

To use a variety of skills from different team members

To reduce uncertainty by gathering more information

To work together across organizational and stakeholder boundaries to achieve shared goals

A retail bank is launching a programme to modernise its core banking platform. The programme board is split: some want to prioritise quick wins to show progress, while others want to invest heavily in a data migration that will enable future analytics but deliver no visible benefit for two years. The CEO has stated that the bank's strategic priority is to improve customer retention through personalised services. The programme manager needs to set a clear direction that aligns the programme with this strategy. What should the programme manager do first?

Immediately start the data migration because it enables long-term analytics, which is the most valuable outcome.

Commission a detailed cost-benefit analysis of the data migration to decide whether it is worth the investment.

Let the programme board vote on which initiative to prioritise, ensuring democratic buy-in.

Define a clear vision and benefits that directly support customer retention, and communicate this to all stakeholders.
