Exam PMP topic 1 question 683 discussion

PMI is so vague! The best answer everyone agrees is C and D combined i.e. do impact analysis with the team then submit CR. By splitting C and D, it's assumed D impact analysis is done WITHOUT consulting the team and jumping straight to a CR submission. But alas PMI exam questions are not openly critiqued and hence year after year they get away with making money with very low quality audits on their Qs. One can argue take a step back it's generally about CRs but then why do some other Qs require stepping in and reading the Q carefully to choose the right situational answer? PMI has left the chat.

C is the answer. First discuss with your team and after this make any request.

Assessing the impact of the requested change and subsequently submitting a change request formalizes the process, allowing for a thorough evaluation of the implications on the project's scope, schedule, budget, and other relevant aspects. This approach ensures proper documentation and management of the requested change within the project's change control procedures.

first, discuss with team, tthen evaluate impact if required/needed after team discussion outcome

Discussing the requested change with the team (Option C) is indeed an important step. However, before involving the team in discussions, it's more methodical and efficient for the project manager to evaluate the impact of the proposed change. This involves understanding the potential consequences on scope, time, cost, quality, and other areas of the project. Once the impact has been assessed, the project manager can then present a more informed perspective to the team. Additionally, in many project methodologies, formally submitting a change request is the established procedure when a stakeholder requests a scope change. This formal process ensures that changes are documented, evaluated, and approved (or rejected) systematically.

D. Evaluate the impact and submit a change request

D is the correct answer in my opinion

C Any change request comes, PM has to Analysis the CR with Project team first . then document CR and then present CR to CCB

The Answer should be D

As per 7th edition: 2.6.2.3

D is the answer mostly because of its completion. The team is part of a projects resources so they are encompassed in this answer. Because a key stakeholder has requested this the change REQUEST must be submitted. Doesn’t necessarily mean it will be approved or all impacts are beneficial to the sponsor/project value.

Whenever there is a request for additional work that is not in the scope, the project manager should first evaluate the impact of the requested change. This includes assessing the impact on the budget, schedule, and resources, as well as any other potential impacts on the project. Once the impact is evaluated, the project manager can then submit a change request to the project sponsor for approval. This will ensure that the additional work is properly evaluated, approved, and funded before it is incorporated into the project scope.

The Sequence should be 1) Discuss the change with the team 2) Evaluate the impact and submit the change request. I will go with "C"

I go with C

The change should be discussed first! The answer is not clear on whom to discuss it with though.
