As part of the Managing a Stage Boundary process, the project manager is responsible for reviewing the progress of the current stage, updating the project plan and business case, and planning for the next stage of the project. In this scenario, the project is approaching the end of stage 3, and stage 4 is being planned. As part of the "update the project plan" activity, the project manager must ensure that the project plan is updated with the most recent information.
Option A suggests that the project manager should include the actual time and cost of the work to prepare the marketing materials in the project plan. While it is important to track the actual time and cost of the work, this action is not directly related to updating the project plan. The project manager would typically update the project plan with planned time and cost estimates for future work, rather than actuals from completed work.
Option B suggests that the team manager for the work package delivered pilot courses should be included as a resource in the project plan. While it is important to identify and allocate resources for the work, this action is not directly related to updating the project plan. Resource allocation is typically part of the "plan the next stage" activity, rather than the "update the project plan" activity.
Option C suggests that the project manager should update the project's business case to show any new key risks that have been identified. This is a key responsibility of the project manager during the "managing a stage boundary" process. As risks can impact the project's success and viability, it is important to update the business case to reflect any changes. This option is the most relevant and directly related to the "update the project plan" activity.
Option D suggests that the project manager should include the tolerances for the work package delivered pilot courses in the project plan. While tolerances are an important part of the project plan, this action is not directly related to updating the project plan. Tolerances are typically set during the "initiating a project" process, and are used to monitor and control project progress. They are not typically updated during the "managing a stage boundary" process.
In conclusion, the correct answer is C - the project manager should update the project's business case to show any new key risks that have been identified.
