The Vision document is prepared specifically to share with stakeholders to communicate the desired future state the programme aims to achieve. It is a clear, inspirational statement designed to create alignment, motivation, and understanding among all parties involved.
The MSP Practitioner states:“Vision's purpose is to share the idea of better future planned by programme with all stakeholders.”It conveys the strategic intent and overarching goals without delving into technical or detailed delivery plans.
Unlike the Business Case or Blueprint, which are more technical or internal management documents, the Vision serves as a powerful communication tool fostering stakeholder engagement and support from the outset.
Question 2
Which of the following is NOT set out by the Programme Brief?
Options:
A.
Risks and issues
B.
Estimated cost
C.
Analysis of the options available
D.
Key resources needed
Answer:
C
Explanation:
Analysis of the options available isnottypically included in the Programme Brief but is developed during the preparation of the Business Case.
The MSP Practitioner clarifies:“Analysis of options starts while preparing business case,”meaning the Programme Brief sets out the scope, risks, costs, and key resources but does not contain detailed option appraisal.
This distinction helps ensure the Programme Brief remains a focused and concise document outlining programme intent and governance, while the Business Case undertakes the detailed financial and strategic evaluation required for decision-making.
Question 3
Which of the following is not correct about 'Leading change'?
Options:
A.
Appoint right people at right time
B.
Actively engage stakeholder
C.
Create novel solutions to problems
D.
Get approval from sponsoring group
Answer:
D
Explanation:
'Leading change' principle in MSP focuses on driving transformation through the right leadership, engaging stakeholders actively, and fostering innovative solutions. However, getting approval from the sponsoring group is not considered part of this principle but rather a responsibility addressed in programme organization under governance themes. Approval processes are formalized separately from the leadership approach.
