      你已经向关键利益相关者发送了计划绩效报告。客户回信说 “感谢”。你的主办方,同时也是你的报告经理,给你回信,提到他对项目的表现不满意。在这种情况下,你最有可能立即使用的方法是什么? a. 使用你的冲突管理技能,通过展示客户的 “赞赏 “字条作为支持性证据,改变赞助商对项目表现的看法。 b. 运用你的谈判技巧,通过展示客户的 “赞赏 “字条作为支持证据,改变主办方对项目绩效的看法。 c. 运用你的说服技巧,通过展示客户的 “赞赏 “字条作为佐证,改变主办方对项目绩效的看法。 d. 要求与主办方举行审查会议,审查计划绩效。

D

Program performance report :计划绩效报告 key stakeholde:主要利益相关方 Custome:客户 responded back:回信 Appreciation:赞赏 sponsor :赞助方 mentioning:提及 approach:方法 immediately :立即 situation:情况 Conflict Management skill:冲突管理技能 Sponsor’s perception:赞助商的看法 supporting evidence:支持性证据 Negotiation skill:谈判技巧 Persuasive skill:说服力技巧 Request a review meeting:要求召开审查会议

选项 “a、b、d “部分正确,但更接近的是选项 “c”,因为它是一个很好的例子,可以从计划利益相关者那里收集 “经验教训 “的数据,作为计划结束手续的一部分。

  1. Who are least likely to be a part of the Stakeholder group in your program?
    1. Customer
    2. Sponsor
    3. PMO
    4. All C-Level Executives of Organization (CEO, CoO, CFO, CiO, CTO)

D
解析∶Option”d” is more closer because the key here is the usage of the word”ALL”hence its very unlikely that all C-Level executives to be a part of stakeholder group in a Program.
Whereas, Customer,PMO& Sponsor are most likely to be a part of Program Stakeholder group.

选项 “d “更接近,因为这里的关键是 “所有 “这个词的用法,因此,所有的C级管理人员都是计划中利益相关者群体的一部分,这是很不可能的。 而客户、PMO和赞助商最有可能成为项目利益相关者群体的一部分。

least likely:最不可能 Customer :客户 Sponsor:赞助商 Level Executives of Organization:级别 行政组织 hence:因此 Whereas:鉴于

  1. One of the project in your program is nearing completion.A key stakeholder has Suggested some major changes in that project. What would be your likely response?

    3. Document change and inform Governance board
    4. Say NO to the change because Project is nearing completion

B
解析∶ Option”a”is half-correct (”Program has wider scope to accommodate changes” is a correct statement.But, it doesn’t mean that all changes can be considered approved which is the in-correct part)
Option “c” is again half-correct(“Document change” is the correct part but before informing Governance board it’s important to analyze the change)
Option “d”is incorrect choice (because it is un-wise to say NO to any change without doing proper analysis.Only option which is most likely is Option “b”. Most perfect choice would be “Document & Analyze change”

选项 “a “是半正确的(”计划有更大的范围来适应变化 “是一个正确的说法,但并不意味着所有的变化都可以被认为是被批准的,这是错误的部分)。 选项 “c “也是半正确的(”文件变更 “是正确的部分,但在通知治理委员会之前,对变更进行分析很重要)。 选项 “d “是不正确的选择(因为不做适当的分析就对任何变化说 “不 “是不明智的。唯一最可能的选项是选项 “b”。最完美的选择是 “记录和分析变化”

Suggested:建议的 major changes :主要变化 Approve:批准 wider scope to accommodate changes:扩大范围以适应变化 Analyze change :分析变化 inform Governance board:通知管理委员会 wider:更广泛的 scope:范围 accommodate:适应 statement:声明 considered approved:考虑批准 proper:适当的

reached:达到 without compromising the project schedule & cost:在不影响项目进度和成本的情况下达成 Advise:建议 raise:提出 Strictly:严格执行 inform:告知 schedule management plan :进度管理计划 Escalate :升级 consequence:侯贵 authority:主管部门 impacts:影响 dependencies:依赖性

  1. Your Program office is preparing Program Metrics to measure the Varlance Analysis for Cost, Scope & Schedule at the Program level. Program Governance board is very specific about these metrics because most of the Governance decisions are dependent on the Program’s performance & Program Variance reported by Program Office. The Program office is finding difficult to understand the “Certain & Uncertain portions of the Program. Unless that is clear,it will be difficult for them to prepare the metrics.
    1. Advise Program office to conduct”Monte Carlo”analysis
    2. Advise Program office to conduct “PERT”analysis
    3. Advise program office to discuss with all your project managers and try to understand in terms of Certain&Uncertainty
    4. Advise program office to discuss Uncertainty protion with customers and understand their inputs and consider that data for the variance Analysis metrics

      你的计划办公室正在准备计划指标,以衡量计划层面的成本、范围和时间表的偏差分析。计划管理委员会对这些指标非常明确,因为大多数管理决策都取决于计划办公室报告的计划绩效和计划差异。计划办公室发现很难理解 “计划的确定和不确定部分”。除非这一点很清楚,否则他们将很难准备指标。 a. 建议计划办公室进行 “蒙特卡洛 “分析。 b. 建议项目办公室进行 “PERT “分析。 c. 建议项目办公室与所有的项目经理进行讨论,并尝试从确定和不确定的角度来理解。 d. 建议项目办公室与客户讨论不确定性方案,了解他们的投入,并考虑这些数据作为差异分析的指标。

B
解析:Option”b” is correct because PERT analysis will consider “Pessimistic,Optimistic,Most Likely” factors are taken into consideration. Option “c&d” will not help. Option”a” is incorrect either

选项b是正确的,因为PERT分析会考虑 “悲观、乐观、最可能 “等因素。选项 “c&d “没有帮助。选项 “a “也不正确。

Program Metrics:计划指标 measure:措施 Varlance Analysis for Cost, Scope & Schedule:成本、范围和进度偏差分析 Governance decisions:管理决策 dependent:依靠 Program Variance reported:报告计划差异 “Certain & Uncertain portions of the Program:计划的确定和不确定性部分 Monte Carlo”analysis:蒙特卡洛分析 Uncertainty protion with customers:与客户的不确定性假设 Pessimistic,Optimistic,Most Likely:悲观的、乐观的、最可能的 either:或者

  1. You are Program manager for the Program ABC and you have received a mall from CEO of your company where he has forwarded you the mail sent by one of the Project manager within your Program, mentioning that something really wrong is happening in his Project. What is your reaction?

    2. Speak to the concerned Project Manager about the issue and get it fixed

C
解析:Option “c” will come first. Defining the escalation path & setting the communication protocol will form the base for all Program Level communications and set the expectations very clear. Option “b” will be followed by Option “c” &then followed by Option “A” Option “D” is irrelevant

选项 “c “将首先出现。定义升级路径和设定沟通协议将构成所有计划层面沟通的基础,并将期望设定得非常清楚。选项 “b “之后是选项 “c”,然后是选项 “A” 选项 “D “是不相关的。

forwarded:转发 reply:回复 Escalation path:升级路径 ensure the proper communication protoco:确保适当的沟通协议 Defining:定义 expectations very clear:非常明确的期望 irrelevant:不相关
