A project manager is evaluating the effectiveness of the managing a stage boundary process. The project board has been approving stage plans without reviewing the details, and the project has experienced significant issues in the next stages. What is the most likely cause of this ineffectiveness?

The project board is too experienced and does not need to review the details.

The stage boundary report is not providing the project board with the right level of detail to make an informed decision.

The project manager is not following the RACI, and the project board is doing the project manager's work.

The stage boundaries are too frequent, causing the board to become complacent.

A project is in stage 4 of 6. At the stage boundary, the project manager discovers that the next stage plan cannot be completed because a key resource will be unavailable. The business case is still viable. What should the project manager do?

Delay the stage boundary until the resource becomes available, then produce the next stage plan.

Produce the next stage plan with a different resource and proceed without consulting the project board.

Close the project because the next stage cannot be planned.

Report the resource constraint in the stage boundary report and propose options for the project board to consider.

Which activity is performed in the managing a stage boundary process?

Producing the project brief and initiating the project

Reviewing the current stage's performance against its stage plan

Handing over the final products to the users

Authorizing the work packages for the current stage
