Planning — IGCSE Enterprise (0454) questions by topic
Planning questions ask you to define terms such as action plan, state items usually found within a business plan's staffing or human resources content, and analyse why careful planning matters for a specific meeting or proposal, such as Leo's booklet pitch to a café manager. Explain, state, evaluate, define and identify are the command words tested, moving from naming a planning document to justifying its purpose in context.
This page draws on 8 real questions worth between 10 and 25 marks, from papers set from 2023 to 2025. Because the higher-mark questions ask why planning helped a named individual succeed, draft your analyse-level answers and submit them for instant marking to see whether your reasons are specific to the case rather than generic advice about planning ahead.
