Full set: 75 questions
Answer options
A: Project outputs Correct answer
B: Project dossier
C: Business Case
D: Blueprint
Correct Answer:
A. Project outputs
Explanation

In MSP, “Deliver the Capabilities” is the process that coordinates projects so the programme can obtain the capabilities described in the Blueprint. Its documented inputs (AXELOS, MSP 2011 ed., Table 14.1 “Inputs to Deliver the Capability”) are the approved Project Dossier, Blueprint, Tranche/Programme Plans, Benefit information and other governance baselines. Project outputs are created by, not supplied to, this process; they are listed in the same table as outputs of the process. Therefore, Project outputs are not an input, whereas the Project Dossier, Business Case (the live justification baseline carried forward into every process), and Blueprint all precede and guide capability delivery.

Why Incorrect

B. Project dossier – listed as an explicit input to Deliver the Capability (MSP 2011 ed., p. 197).
C. Business Case – retained as a baseline and referenced in every transformational-flow process, hence an input (MSP 2011 ed., p. 90 & p. 197).
D. Blueprint – provides the target-state design and is an input to Deliver the Capability (MSP 2011 ed., p. 197).
