By supporting the organization's decision-making structures and reporting requirements

By creating a separate governance structure for projects only

By replacing the organization's governance with P3O-specific rules

By ignoring the organization's governance

Which of the following is a success factor for a temporary P3O?

An indefinite lifespan with no review

Clear terms of reference and a defined end date

A P3O is asked to provide independent assurance on a major project. However, the P3O has been heavily involved in defining the project's business case and providing its project manager. What is the most significant risk to the credibility of the assurance service, and how should it be addressed?

The project manager may not cooperate with the review; address by mandating cooperation in the project charter

The assurance team may lack the technical skills to review the project; address by hiring external experts

The assurance review will be too expensive; address by limiting the scope to financial checks

The P3O's involvement creates a conflict of interest; address by using a separate, independent assurance team or external provider
