What does PRINCE2 Agile identify as a 'concept'?
Answer: D
Which is a benefit that can be realized by a PRINCE2 organization seeking to adopt PRINCE2 Agile?
Answer: A
Project scenario - Get fit with football! (Note: The companies and people within the scenario are fictional) Introduction - A Local Government Authority (LGA) has decided to organize a six-a-side football tournament. The tournament will contribute towards achieving the targets set by a national initiative to improve the fitness of children under the age of 16. As part of the LGA's policy of self-funding, this has to be achieved at zero cost to the LGA (and therefore the local tax payer). The cost of the event will be covered through fees paid by teams registered to take part in the tournament, sponsorship and monies raised during the day. Any surplus would be used for the maintenance of local sports centres. Teams can register under one of several age groups for both boys and girls. In addition, family members are asked to attend to provide support. This sports event is designed to be a family day out. The football tournament will have an event village including a kidz'-zone, catering, car parking, mobile changing rooms and toilets. The tournament will take place on the LGA-owned football pitches near the centre of the town, although space is somewhat limited. Scope - The initial scope of the project includes: a marketing campaign to promote the event; a celebrity to open the event; a website to provide information about the event and handle applications; an event village to support the 'family day out'; the training of LGA staff as volunteers to run and support the event; back-office processes to handle the applications; fundraising to cover the cost of the event. The project has been set up with four work streams to deliver this work: 1. Marketing 2. Website 3. Event Village 4. Staff Training Project Background - The LGA have extensive experience in using PRINCE2 and will run the event as a single project. The project manager is fully conversant with PRINCE2 Agile. One office in the LGA building in the centre of town has been given to the project for the entire duration. The office is across the corridor from the Marketing Department and the project manager has already put a sign on the door that says 'Mission Control'. Timeline - An initial timeline has been suggested and is shown in the following diagram. The timeline may evolve due to the agile ways of working. The timeline shows how work streams are broken down into work packages and/or timeboxes.

Marketing - Additional information The marketing campaign has two key areas to promote: 1. The event itself including the football tournament, event village and fundraising activities. 2. The LGA's long term aim to improve the fitness of children under the age of 16. The Marketing Team has received some initial Scrum training but is unsure how it can be applied to their marketing work. The Marketing Team is keen that the project manager provides them with a clear brief for the campaign before they spend too much time on it. They have experience of working with a variety of marketing channels, although they are not sure which channel(s) will work most effectively to promote this type of event, and in particular to promote the LGA's longer term health aims. The Marketing Team is not clear on the priority to assign to the two aims for the event. The Marketing Team will publish advertisements and/or promotional material every week, with more information in each issue to keep the message up to date. Nine releases are scheduled at the end of each of the nine week-long timeboxes. The nine timeboxes within the marketing work stream are scheduled to include: advertisements: a radio interview; production of a hand-out/flyer; banners and signs to put up around the town and at the event; the provision of a website and social media content; promotional posters to be displayed by local businesses. Using the Project Scenario and Marketing Additional information, answer the following question: The project manager recommends that Stage 2 should be broken down further with more stage boundaries linked to the weekly publication of a newspaper advertisement. Using the Timeline, which statement BEST evaluates this proposal in relation to the 'manage by stages' principle?
Answer: B

Using the Project Scenario and Marketing Additional information, answer the following question: The senior user has specified a second charity to which any proceeds should be donated. All marketing material to be used from now onwards must promote the new charity. Banners promoting only the first charity have already been produced, delivered and approved in a previous timebox. The effort to add the new logo to the existing banners is low. How should the Marketing Team respond to this change with respect to the banners already created?

The Website Team are very good at Scrum. They have created a set of tasks to assess more difficult work and they refer to this as sprint zero. Using the Project Scenario and Website Additional information, answer the following question: The following assessment was made initially during the 'starting up a project' process: 'The Website Team is already using Scrum and it is expected that this team will be familiar with agile techniques. However, the Staff Training Team is less familiar with the agile ways of working.' Training on agile techniques was given to the Staff Training Team as a result of this assessment. As part of the 'closing a project" process, the following observation was made: 'The Staff Training Team gained more understanding of what to fix and what to flex as the project moved into Stage 3.' Why should this observation appear in the end project report?

Event Village - Additional information The aim of the event village is to provide a range of services and activities for anyone attending the football tournament. The event village will comprise a number of work packages: 1. Event village design 2. A 'kids-zone' which includes trampolines and swings, as well as the opportunity to try out other sporting activities 3. Stalls which will be sold to local businesses to raise funds for the event: Refreshment stalls within a large food tent. The LGA is keen to promote the culinary diversity of the town whilst adhering to the objective of eating healthily. There are 30 vendor stalls selling products related to the event. The LGA has five stalls to promote their longer term aims and to demonstrate current and future initiatives. 4. A car park for 200 cars. 5. Temporary facilities including changing rooms, toilets and shower facilities. 6. Dismantling of the event village and clean up. The Event Village Team is assembled using staff from various LGA departments who have no experience of working with agile. Using the Project Scenario and Event Village Additional information, answer the following question: The project manager used the Agilometer to assess the prevailing agile environment and, consequently, took action to improve the low score achieved on the 'flexibility on what is delivered' slider. When should the project manager undertake a further assessment in order to determine if further action is required to increase the slider score?
