Near the end of stage 2, the supplier planned for the utilities and systems work becomes financially unstable and a replacement subcontractor is selected for stage 3. The project manager recommends that the replacement subcontractor's account manager should represent the supplier interest as senior supplier.
During which 'managing a stage boundary' activity should this recommendation be developed?
A product description contains only the following quality specification for the car-parking component: "The shopping centre will include an underground car park." Is this an effective application of the quality practice, and why?
During stage 3, the project manager forecasts that the stage-level recycling tolerance will be exceeded. The project manager records the matter in the issue register and sends only an issue report to the project board.
Is this an appropriate application of the progress practice, and why?
Before the end of stage 2, the project board authorizes a change that adds more trees and seating to the external landscaping. The change can be delivered in stage 3 without any forecast breach of project tolerance.
While preparing the next stage plan, the project manager incorporates the additional products and work, updates the relevant product descriptions and product register entries, and reviews whether the project initiation documentation needs to be updated.
Is this an appropriate application of 'prepare the next stage plan', and why?
A high-level requirement that the design should be consistent with its surroundings was recorded during
'starting up a project'. During initiation, the project manager works with Council members, residents, retailers and BuildyBrick to clarify the required design characteristics and define measurable acceptance criteria.
Which management product should be updated with this information?
During the 'starting up a project' process, the project manager works with key business, user, and supplier stakeholders to co-create the project product description, clarify the shopping centre's scope and agree its quality expectations and acceptance criteria.
What is the MAIN benefit of co-creating the project product description in this way?
