The local government took further action to deal with this problem It banned parking on the busiest streets, it introduced parking charges in the remaining streets and it made it free to park m the town's car parks for up to two hours Fewer people now park cars on the streets because of the charges, but those who do generate significant revenues for the local government Fewer traffic wardens are required and so wage costs have reduced

The local goverment auditors have decided to carry out a value for money audit of the parking system

Revenues increasing in option D seems important too, but I'm not sure if that's a direct measure of effectiveness in solving the parking problem.

I feel like C could also be a measure of effectiveness because if costs are lower, that might indicate a more efficient system.

I'm not entirely sure, but I remember we discussed how stress levels of traffic wardens could be a sign of success in a previous practice question. So maybe B is relevant?

I think option A might be the best measure of effectiveness since it directly addresses the congestion issue on the shopping streets.

This seems like a straightforward question, but I want to make sure I'm not missing anything. I think the best measure of effectiveness is option A - the main shopping streets are no longer congested. That seems to be the primary issue they were trying to address with these changes.

I'm a little confused by this question. There are a lot of details about the changes to the parking system, but it's not totally clear to me what the main objective was. I'll need to re-read it a few times and try to figure out the key goals they were trying to achieve with these changes.

Okay, I think I've got this. The local government wanted to reduce congestion and costs, so the most relevant measure of effectiveness would be the one that directly addresses those goals. I'm going to go with option C - parking enforcement costs less than before.

This question seems straightforward - it's asking for a measure of effectiveness of the parking system changes. I think the key is to focus on the objectives the local government had in mind, like reducing congestion and costs.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. There are a few different options that seem like they could be measures of effectiveness. I'll need to carefully read through the details and think about which one best captures the goals they were trying to achieve.

Yes, that's what I was thinking too. The key commands here are "ip domain lookup" to restore the DNS resolution functionality.

This is a good example of a question that requires a solid understanding of Azure AD group management and licensing. I feel confident I can work through this by analyzing the group structure and membership details.

I remember learning about management reviews in class, and I believe the key purpose is to monitor the status of a project and make decisions about next steps. So I'm going to go with option D.

I practiced a question similar to this last week where they discussed tablet pricing strategies. I guess skimming fits, but the loss leader part confuses me.

Prevention seems like the key word here. Option C looks most aligned with what an exercise physiologist would do.

Increased revenues? That sounds like a prime example of the government finding new and creative ways to tax the people. I wonder if they're going to use that money to improve the town or just line their own pockets.

Haha, I bet the local government is loving all that sweet, sweet parking revenue. Maybe they'll use it to build a solid gold statue of the mayor or something.

Reducing enforcement costs is great, but it doesn't necessarily mean the system is more effective. The revenues have increased, so it seems the new policies are working as intended.

Decreased stress for traffic wardens is a nice side effect, but not really a measure of effectiveness. The real goal was to manage the parking situation, not make the wardens' lives easier.

The main shopping streets being less congested is definitely a measure of effectiveness. The whole point was to reduce traffic and improve access for businesses and customers.
