Question 2
How many roles are there in the IAM Competences Framework?
Correct Answer: C
The IAMCompetences Frameworkdefinesseven rolesthat encompass strategic, tactical, and operational functions across asset management. These are intended to cover a range of responsibilities and skills across an organization.

Question 3
You have recently been hired by a large infrastructure organization that has a diverse range of assets and asset types. Which of the following statements is true when developing Asset Management Plans for an organization like this?
Correct Answer: E
This is consistent with IAM guidance because, in a large and diverse infrastructure organization, asset management planning typically needs both: * an overarching strategic plan that sets the organization-wide asset management direction and objectives; and * more detailed asset- or asset-class-specific plans that translate that direction into actionable lifecycle, performance, risk, and investment plans for different asset types. The IAM Anatomy of Asset Management Version 4 explains that the Strategic Asset Management Plan (SAMP) specifies the organization's long-term and life-cycle approach to managing assets, including the asset management strategy and asset management objectives . It also makes clear that the resulting planning framework can exist as a structured group of documents , rather than a single document only. This is exactly why options A , B , and C are too absolute. IAM does not say there must only be one plan, nor that there should only be separate asset-type plans without an overarching framework. The point is alignment through the line of sight : organizational objectives flow into asset management strategy and then into the relevant plans for different asset groups. Option D is incorrect because the number and type of plans do matter for governance, clarity, and alignment; it is not sufficient merely to focus on maintenance of critical asset groups. IAM planning covers much more than maintenance alone, including lifecycle decisions, performance, risk, and investment planning.

Question 5
Which of the following is NOT normally an input to an asset management plan?
Correct Answer: A
Maintenance schedules are the output of planning rather than a prerequisite input. The other options are critical drivers in determining what actions should be planned. Exact Extract from ISO 55002:2018, Clause 6.2 - Planning for AM Objectives: "Inputs include asset information, demand forecasts, AM objectives, organizational priorities, and risk assessments."
