  1. What is the primary purpose of a project governance framework in a CPD-managed program?

    Answer: To define decision-making authority, accountability, and oversight structures

    A project governance framework establishes clear decision-making authority, accountability, and oversight to ensure the project aligns with organizational objectives.

  2. Which governance document formally authorizes a project and gives the project director authority to use organizational resources?

    Answer: Project Charter

    The Project Charter formally authorizes the project and grants the project director authority to apply organizational resources to project activities.

  3. A CPD candidate must ensure regulatory compliance across multiple jurisdictions. What is the BEST approach?

    Answer: Develop a compliance matrix mapping requirements to project deliverables

    A compliance matrix systematically maps regulatory requirements to specific deliverables, ensuring no obligation is overlooked across jurisdictions.

  4. In project governance, what does the term 'separation of duties' primarily prevent?

    Answer: Fraud and errors by ensuring no single person controls all aspects of a critical process

    Separation of duties is a control mechanism that reduces the risk of fraud and errors by requiring multiple individuals to complete critical processes.

  5. Which body is typically responsible for approving major project changes in a formal governance structure?

    Answer: Change Control Board (CCB)

    The Change Control Board (CCB) reviews, approves, or rejects major change requests to maintain project scope, schedule, and cost integrity.

  6. A project director discovers that a vendor is not complying with contractual data security requirements. What is the FIRST action?

    Answer: Document the non-compliance and formally notify the vendor per contract terms

    Documenting the non-compliance and issuing formal notification per contract terms protects legal standing and initiates the corrective action process.
