Your Answer

Correct Answer:

Explanation

Here are the appropriate options for each assertion and reason combination:

The Marketing Director, in the role of Business Visionary, is empowered to overrule cost restrictions

advised by the Chief Accountant, who is appointed as Business Ambassador.

C . True (Assertion) False (Reason)

Rationale: While the Business Visionary may have the authority to make strategic decisions that

could overrule cost restrictions, the reason given relates to project-level roles directing the project,

not to the authority to overrule cost-related advice.

The Procurement Manager is an appropriate representative of the end user of the solution.

B . True (Assertion) True (Reason) BUT the reason does not explain the assertion

Rationale: The Procurement Manager, as part of the operational team, could represent the end user.

However, the reason given talks about the empowerment of the Business Ambassador, which does

not directly explain why the Procurement Manager is a representative of the end user.

The other specialist gardening team members from Earth Excavations would be suitable as Solution

Developers, assigned alongside the Head Landscape Gardener.

A . True (Assertion) True (Reason) AND the reason explains the assertion

Rationale: Specialist gardening team members would be suitable as Solution Developers, providing

support to the Lead Developer, which is a common practice in Agile teams.

The 'Hoy for Hoy Hall' Action Group members should be assigned as Business Ambassadors.

D . False (Assertion) True (Reason)

Rationale: While the Business Ambassador should ensure that business needs are analyzed, the 'Hoy

for Hoy Hall' Action Group members being assigned as Business Ambassadors is not necessarily true

as they are external stakeholders and not necessarily equipped to represent the business internally

on a project.

The Project Manager should plan the communication needed between the Marketing Director, in the

role of Business Visionary, and the 'Hoy for Hoy Hall' Action Group.

A . True (Assertion) True (Reason) AND the reason explains the assertion

Rationale: The Project Manager typically has the responsibility to plan and manage communication

between the project team and external stakeholders, and the Business Visionary's role includes

promoting the business vision to interested parties, which includes the 'Hoy for Hoy Hall' Action

Group.
