A programme board is about to make a decision on whether to continue funding a work stream that is behind schedule. The board needs to see the current status of deliverables, costs, and risks. What is the most effective way to present this information to support the decision?

Provide a dashboard that summarizes key performance indicators, including schedule, cost, and risk status, with the ability to drill down for details.

Present only the positive aspects of the work stream to encourage continued funding.

Give a verbal update without any written documentation.

Send a detailed 50-page report with all raw data and analysis.

Which of the following indicates that the Decisions theme is being applied effectively?

Decision registers are maintained but not used

All decisions are made by the Senior Responsible Owner

Decisions are made quickly without considering alternatives

Decisions are made at the appropriate level with the necessary information

During a programme to modernize IT systems, the risk owner identifies a threat that a key legacy system may fail during migration, causing significant downtime. The risk owner has several possible responses. Which response represents a 'reduce' (mitigate) response to this threat?

Avoid the risk by cancelling the migration project entirely.

Transfer the risk to the system vendor by purchasing extended support and warranty.

Put in place additional testing and a rollback plan to minimize the impact if the failure occurs.

Accept the risk and do nothing because the legacy system has been reliable in the past.

A programme is setting up its governance documentation. The programme manager wants to ensure that decisions are made consistently and that issues and risks are managed effectively. Which document should contain the agreed approach for decision-making, issue resolution, and risk response?

The programme plan, because it schedules all activities.

The programme strategy, specifically the sections on decision-making, issue resolution, and risk response.

The business case, because it justifies the programme and includes financial analysis.

The benefits management strategy, because it defines how benefits will be realized.
