Exam PMP topic 1 question 1260 discussion

Since the constraints are expected to prevent the project from being completed within the planned iterations, these are indeed known risks rather than just assumptions. A contingency plan would allow the project manager to outline specific actions to address potential deviations from the initial plan, thus helping to mitigate the impact of these constraints and ensure that the project meets its fixed delivery date.

C. Create a contingency plan in case the project deviates from the initial plan

Selon le PMP, pendant la phase d'initialisation des hypothèses peuvent être émis et les plans ne se font que lorsque le projet est déjà lancé en phase de planification.

"internal constraints and conditions" are unremovable. All we can do is prepare a contingency plan when they come. Assumptions are just for unclear things, but nothing is unclear here

Creating a contingency plan is essential when there are known constraints and potential risks that could impact the project timeline and deliverables. A contingency plan will outline specific actions to take if certain risks materialize, providing a structured approach to managing deviations from the initial plan and helping to mitigate their impact. On the other hand, creating an assumption log (option C) is useful for documenting assumptions and their potential impacts, but it does not provide a plan for addressing the known constraints and ensuring project continuity in case of deviations.

The Assumption Log allows for the identification, tracking, and management of assumptions to mitigate risks. It also aids in validating these assumptions and adjusting project plans when necessary.

I believe its D, Assumption log. Since the project has not started yet so the assumption log is created at the initiation stage and s required to understand what assumptions have been made in the planning and management of the project. An assumption is a key piece of information upon which project plans and decisions are made.
