Exam PMP topic 1 question 713 discussion

This is only BBBBBBBBB

I think it's B Since predictive approach is not supposed to received so much changes, I assume it's an agile approach

The question did not specify the type of approach. Moreover, change requests are not required in an adaptive environment.

The original question didn't explicitly mention the project management methodology being used. The response provided assumed an agile context based on the options given. If your project doesn't follow agile principles, the best approach may differ. Traditional project management methodologies, like Waterfall, may have different processes for handling change requests.

In agile project management, incorporating changes into the backlog is a common practice. The product backlog is a dynamic document that can be adjusted based on changing priorities and requirements. By including the changes in the backlog, the project manager can work with the product owner and the team to review and prioritize them. This allows for flexibility in responding to evolving project needs while ensuring that the changes are aligned with project objectives and priorities.

In summary, if the project is agile, option B is a strong choice. If the project management approach is not explicitly agile, option D might be a more general and inclusive approach.

It's D. You must first find out why you have so many change requests. to prioritize them in the backlog dont solve the problem.

Option B is recommended because it aligns with Agile principles and practices for managing change effectively in complex projects. In Agile methodologies, change is expected, and the backlog is a key tool for managing work, including change requests. By including the changes in the backlog and reviewing priorities with the product owner, the project manager ensures that changes are evaluated, prioritized, and integrated into the project in a structured and collaborative manner. This approach fosters transparency, adaptability, and alignment with the project's objectives and product vision, making it a suitable choice for managing change requests in complex projects. (D says main stakeholder and there are many stakeholders)

I think only B make sence...

D. Review the project and communications management plan with the main stakeholder

Looking at the other answers, seems everyone has forgotten the idea of agile is to be agile. call it what you want (hybrid or agile), this project uses change requests and a backlog. B. is th answer by the sheer fact it is leading practice plus the process of elimination with the other answers, if still not sure: A is out (risk register has nothing to do with managing CR's. C. is out because that is not a leading practice CR management process in any approach D. doesn't even make any sense when it comes to directly managing a change request decision/tracking.

'execution phase' - sounds like they are following a predictive lifecycle. Therefore, the PM needs to review the change management plan which is part of the project management plan

I go for A. From the given question we can't understand that it's an Agile environment and moreover, the is no change requests in Agile so B can not be correct. I'd say that answer A is most suitable although it's not a full answer

How can B be correct. There are not change requests in agile methodology. Changes would be requested at a sprint review, not follow an official change request process.

Is this an Agile project? I cant tell

Isn't B solely the Product Owners job? I'll say A
