Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Providing independent assurance to the Project Board
Why it's wrong here
Independent assurance is delivered by Project Assurance, which reports directly to the Project Board, whereas Project Support provides administrative services to the Project Manager and team. It tempts because both roles sit outside the delivery line and interact with the Board, but assurance requires independence Project Support cannot hold.
- ✗
Preparing the Highlight Report
Why it's wrong here
The Highlight Report is produced by the Project Manager to update the Project Board on progress, so drafting it sits outside Project Support's remit of maintaining logs, files and administrative tools. It tempts because Project Support often formats and distributes the report, but authorship and content ownership remain with the Project Manager.
- ✓
Assisting with planning and scheduling
Why this is correct
Project Support provides specialist help with the project's planning and control products, assisting those producing and updating plans and schedules. This satisfies the stem by naming a genuine support responsibility, distinct from the Project Manager's accountability for the plans themselves.
- ✓
Providing administrative support to the project team
Why this is correct
Project Support delivers day-to-day administrative assistance to the project team, handling routine tasks so managers can focus on direction. This satisfies the stem by naming a genuine administrative responsibility that sits within the Project Support role's defined remit.
- ✓
Maintaining the project filing system
Why this is correct
Project Support administers the project's records, so maintaining the filing system falls squarely within its remit. This satisfies the stem by naming a genuine administrative responsibility assigned to that role rather than to the Project Manager or Team Manager.
