Exam PMP topic 1 question 75 discussion

Reporting to the PMO (option A) might be necessary, but it may not directly address the quality problem causing the rework on the critical path. The PMO could be informed of the situation separately, but the immediate concern is to address the quality problem. Rebaselining the project schedule (option B) could be considered after addressing the quality problem, but it doesn't directly solve the root cause of the delay. Notifying the project steering committee (option C) is important to keep stakeholders informed, but the immediate concern is to rectify the quality problem and minimize the rework. Reporting the delay with rectifying actions to the change control board (CCB) for review (option D) is the most appropriate action in this scenario. The CCB is responsible for reviewing and approving changes to the project scope, schedule, and resources. By involving the CCB, the project manager can seek support for rectifying the quality problem and explore potential solutions to get the project back on track.

quality problem -> corrective action -> change request -> CCB

Dis the right course of action. reporting to the change control board with rectifying action is best to address the repeated quality issues including rectifying actions shows the PM is being proactive and solution-oriented, not just reporting a problem.

notifying the PMO or the steering committee (Options A and C) is important for communication and awareness

Answer is A. If you selected D, What is the changed part for discussion in CCB? Unclear based on the question.

A is correct we need to correct quality problem dont need to make changes may be use fast track or crashing so no need to CCB

D is correct

The answer is C. First Project Manager needs to identify root House of the problem. Then develop rectifying action and then communicate to stakeholders. Prioritize critical path activities. If changes to the schedule - then CBB

A. Report first

quality problem is generally defects which are never a change, so should not go to CCB. Instead the rectifying actions, post RCA should be shared with PMO

Rectifying actions is a change that needs CCB for approval before taking proposed rectify actions

D. Report the delay with rectifying actions to the change control board (CCB) for review.

I'd go with D as its not clear what type of the organization it is and whether or not PMO plays a signifcant role in the process

CCB is solely for change request

A very confusing question. The choice is clearly between A & D. D may be considered as less correct because you don't report (a problem & rectifying actions) to CCB but you make a request (for change). On the other hand, the fact that "rectifying actions" is included, this may be considered as a request for action with the problem reporting being the justification for the rectifying actions that need to be taken which makes case for D. A may be considered as being correct because the PM is reporting the problem and also proactively recommending rectifying actions. However, reporting to the PMO does not necessarily solve the problem but can only lead to steps towards correcting the problem. I would lean towards D because it's the ultimate step that has to be taken to correct the reported problem.

That is not a change, so you cannot go to change control board.

D. Report the delay with rectifying actions to the change control board (CCB) for review
