It includes both planned and unplanned alterations in the way politics operates, aiming to address societal needs and aspirations.

    Which of the following is not an output from "Defining a Programme"? - ProProfs

    Which of the following is not an output from "Defining a Programme"?

    • Blueprint.

    • Approved Business Case.

    • Appointment of Programme Board.

    • Approved Business Case.

    Correct Answer
    A. Appointment of Programme Board.
    Explanation
    The appointment of a Programme Board is not an output from "Defining a Programme". The Programme Board is typically established during the "Managing a Programme" phase, not during the initial definition phase. The Programme Board is responsible for providing governance and oversight throughout the program's lifecycle, but it is not an output of the definition process. The other options listed, such as Blueprint and Approved Business Case, are outputs that are typically produced during the definition phase.

    Which of the following is odd? - ProProfs

    Which of the following is odd?

    • Align projects with benefits realisation

    • Align projects with programme objectives

    • Engage stakeholders

    • Carry out reviews

    Correct Answer
    A. Carry out reviews
    Explanation
    The given options are all related to project management practices except for "Carry out reviews". While aligning projects with benefits realization, aligning projects with program objectives, and engaging stakeholders are all important aspects of project management, carrying out reviews is not directly related to project management practices. Reviews are typically conducted to assess the progress, performance, and effectiveness of a project, rather than being an inherent part of project management itself. Therefore, "Carry out reviews" is the odd one out among the given options.

    Which of the following is most likely to be lead to a high predictability of outcome? - ProProfs

    Which of the following is most likely to be lead to a high predictability of outcome?

    • New products

    • Challenges to historical working classes

    • Specifications

    • All of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. Specifications
    Explanation
    Specifications are most likely to lead to a high predictability of outcome because they provide clear and detailed instructions or requirements for a particular task or product. When specifications are well-defined, it becomes easier to understand and meet the expectations, resulting in a more predictable outcome. This is especially important in industries where precision and accuracy are crucial, such as engineering, manufacturing, and construction.

    The volatility of the marketplace can lead to low predictability of outcome.

    • Always true

    • Occasionally true

    • Depends on the marketplace

    • Not true

    Correct Answer
    A. Always true
    Explanation
    The statement suggests that due to the volatility of the marketplace, it is difficult to predict the outcome consistently. This implies that the market is subject to frequent and significant fluctuations, making it challenging to forecast future trends or results with certainty. Therefore, it can be concluded that the statement "The volatility of the marketplace can lead to low predictability of outcome" is always true, regardless of the specific market.
