Product Summary
A list of customers will be collated. This will use existing information from the Accounts department about current customers, and existing information from the Marketing department about prospective customers.
Using the tariff of mailing costs available from the Post Office, a production cost forecast will be produced to allow the CEO and the Marketing Director to decide whether to continue with the project. If they decide to continue, they will give the approval to launch the internal label design competition. Competition rules will be required to communicate details of the competition to the staff. The chosen label design will then be selected from the competition entries.
The photos for the calendar must be based on existing photo design ideas available from the Marketing department. The selected photos will be chosen from these. Monthly calendar displays will be created to show the required layout of each page.
Product Breakdown Structure (contains errors) Extract from Stage Plan for stage 3.

(All entries are true statements but may not be shown under the correct heading or in the correct document).

Using the Project Scenario and the Extract from Stage Plan for stage 3 provided as additional intonation for this question in the Scenario Booklet, answer the following 5 questions.
The Stage Plan for stage 3 has been produced.
The Engineering Manager insists that there are to be no interruptions to operations whilst photographs are being taken of the engineering staff performing their everyday duties and operating machinery. Two weeks ago the professional photographer produced the photo session schedule based on the operational staff schedule. The operational staff schedule is produced weekly and maintained by the Engineering Manager.
None of the (GBP)500 change budget has been used to date and this is available for the stage.
Which 2 statements apply to the Planning assumptions section?

• A.Move entry 9 to External dependencies because the photo session schedule is created by the professional photographer.
• B.Delete entry 10 because the inclusion of different members from the Engineering team in each photo should be shown in the Product Description for the photos.
• C.Delete entry 9 because the photo session schedule should have been approved as part of stage 2.
• D.Move entry 8 to External dependencies because the label designs are created outside of the scope of the project.
• E.No change to entry 8 because this cannot be confirmed until all of the label designs entries have been received and an assessment made.
