Critical Success Factors

Question 1

In evaluating the performance of a hospital aiming to reduce patient wait times, which of the following is most likely a Critical Success Factor rather than a KPI?

10:22 ✓✓

A Reducing average emergency department waiting time to under 30 minutes.

B Ensuring sufficient staffing levels during peak hours to manage patient inflow. ✓

C Achieving a 15% reduction in waiting time within one fiscal year.

D Monitoring monthly patient volume and wait time trends.

10:22 ✓✓

✅ Correct!
Sufficient staffing is a strategic enabler—i.e., a CSF—for reducing wait times. Options A and C are specific numerical targets (KPIs), while D describes monitoring activity, not a success factor.

10:22 ✓✓

Role of Project Sponsor

Question 2

A project is facing resistance from senior department heads. The project manager requests intervention. What should the sponsor do?

10:22 ✓✓

A Take over daily management of the project team.

B Use their organisational authority to champion the project and align stakeholders with strategic objectives. ✓

C Outsource stakeholder engagement to a PR firm.

D Recommend cancelling the project to avoid conflict.

10:22 ✓✓

✅ Correct!
Sponsors resolve escalated issues and provide leadership (OGC). Option B is correct. A undermines the project manager; C avoids responsibility; D gives up prematurely.

10:22 ✓✓

Project Initiation and Business Case

Question 3

A local government project to build a new hospital lacks a formally approved business case. What is the most significant governance risk?

10:22 ✓✓

A The project may proceed without demonstrating value for public funds or strategic necessity. ✓

B The construction team may not have access to architectural drawings.

C The PID may be delayed due to lack of software tools.

D Stakeholders may demand more frequent progress reports than necessary.

10:22 ✓✓

✅ Correct!
Without a business case, there’s no justification for expenditure or strategic fit, violating public accountability. B, C, and D are operational issues. This aligns with the triple constraint and governance expectations in public sector projects, especially under scrutiny for ESG and value creation.
