Exam PMP topic 1 question 278 discussion

D is absurd: any evaluation of changes to the project (schedule, cost, plan..) is made before the change request or during the approval process. Not after...

This is A. From PMBOK 6th (4.6.3.1) Approved change requests will be implemented through Direct and Manage Project Work. Deferred or rejected change requests are communicated to the person or group requesting the change. From PMI Website: https://www.projectmanagement.com/wikis/396744/change-management-process-for-project If the change is approved, the following will occur: The change will be communicated to the team Project deliverables will be updated to reflect the change The change request will be closed on the CID Log All approved change requests will be communicated in the "Project Name" status report

D. When a major change request is approved, the next step is to evaluate its impact on the project management plan (scope, schedule, budget, quality, and other aspects).

After the change request has been accepted by the Change Control Board (CCB), the project manager should take the following steps as part of the change management process according to PMI guidelines: Next Steps: Update Project Documents: Revise the project management plan, including the scope, schedule, and cost baselines, to reflect the approved changes. This includes updating any relevant project documents such as the project scope statement, WBS (Work Breakdown Structure), and schedule baseline. Communicate the Change: Inform all relevant stakeholders about the change and its implications. This includes the project team, clients, and any other parties affected by the change. Clear communication ensures that everyone understands how the change will impact the project moving forward.

6.4 Closing the Change Request If the change is approved, the following will occur: The change will be communicated to the team Project deliverables will be updated to reflect the change The change request will be closed on the CID Log All approved change requests will be communicated in the "Project Name" status report

The CR was approved. D is before approval

A and B part of D activities.

D. Evaluate the adjustments to the project management plan. After the change request has been reviewed and accepted by the change control board (CCB), the project manager should evaluate the adjustments required to the project management plan. This includes updating the project scope, schedule, budget, and any other relevant plans to incorporate the new branch of the bridge into the engineering design. While notifying the project team (option A) and including the new branch in the design (option B) are important steps, they should be done after evaluating the adjustments to the project management plan. Similarly, communicating the decision to the stakeholder who requested the change (option C) is also important but should be done in conjunction with the other actions. The first step is to evaluate the impact of the change on the project management plan to ensure that the project remains on track and aligned with the new requirements.

the sequence of these actions may vary depending on the specific circumstances of the project. Typically, the project manager would first notify the project team (A), then update the design (B), evaluate the adjustments to the project management plan (D), and finally communicate the decision to the stakeholder

This is already approved. The PM needs to execute the change by adding the new design feature.

The project manager should **D. Evaluate the adjustments to the project management plan**. Now that the change request has been approved, it's important to understand how this change will impact the project's scope, schedule, cost, and other areas. The project manager will need to update the project management plan to reflect these changes. This could involve adjusting the schedule, reallocating resources, revising cost estimates, and more. Once the project management plan has been updated, the project manager can then proceed with implementing the change, which includes notifying the project team, updating the design, and communicating with stakeholders. However, the specific actions will depend on the project's change management plan and the specific circumstances of the situation.

D is the first thing for PM to do after CR approved.

#A 6.4 Closing the Change Request If the change is approved, the following will occur: 1.The change will be communicated to the team 2.Project deliverables will be updated to reflect the change 3.The change request will be closed on the CID Log 4.All approved change requests will be communicated in the "Project Name" status report

A is correct. Because the correct process is: Approve/reject by CCB > Inform relevant stakeholders > update related docs: > Update change log > Input to 4.3 (direct and manage proj. work) > Action!

D. Evaluate the adjustments to the project management plan. after that deplyment the official management plan to the others

Team members and other people are part of stakeholders - inclusive, therefore better answer than A. --> answer is C

I voted for A because all evaluations should be completed to complete the change requests and during the evaluation process of the change request by the CCB.
