PMBOK 6: Perform Integrated Change Control Change Request Flow

This video helps us in visualizing how change request flows among various processes.
What is a Change Request? It is a tool for a change in the established plan or project document. So we should have a plan in place before we raise a change request.
Initiating and planning group has nothing to do with Change Request. These process groups don’t take change request as input & most of the time not as output (Procurement planning being an exception).
Executing and Monitoring & Control process groups deal with changes. In this video, you will see how the change request get generated at various places.
In Executing Process Group you may or may not realize Change Requests. Change Requests goes directly to Integrated Change Control for further action. In case you don’t realize any change then the output is Work Performance Data (WPD), which go to the respective Knowledge Area Controlling Process. Here WPD can either generate another change requests or Work Performance Information (WPI). In the case of WPI as an output, it goes to Monitoring & Control where there are 2 possibilities, one is change request being generated, else Work Performance Report is generated. In the case of Change Request, it goes to “Approve/Reject/Deferred.”
Once a change request is received, the project team should not act on it immediately. They should first do impact analysis, it is then sent to respective stakeholder for decision making follwed by decision on the change requests. CRs can be approved, reject or deferred. Then these changes are logged in ChangeLog, a repository of detail of all the changes.
Then based on the changelog update, the project management plan is updated followed by communicating it to respective stakeholders.

[@sie3946]

Identify Stakeholders( initiation) , Define activities, develop schedule, plan risk response and plan procurement output is the change requests. 1 process in initiating and 4 process in planning output is change requests.

[@bclg123]

To clarify (And mentioned in the video), the change request outputs for these 5 processes won't come during the initial setup/creation of the process during Initiating & Planning; they will come later when Executing and Monitoring/Controlling processes have determined an adjustment to these 5 processes is necessary.

This is just superb, I've been looking for "what is the purpose of a management team plan?" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you ever come across - Tannilara Stupendous Transcendence - (Have a quick look on google cant remember the place now ) ? It is an awesome one off product for discovering how to getting 7000 plus project management and business templates without the hard work. Ive heard some pretty good things about it and my cousin got excellent results with it.

Thank you Rakesh, for exploring our video. Many PMP aspirants face challenges while answering questions related to change management due to the gap in the change request flow. This video fills the gap and clears the concept. You can explore our content for more such videos here: www.izenbridge.com/pmp/online-course/

Any problem I have. If you are not able to help me with your utube videos, then it means I can't get the understanding anywhere. Your explanations are always on point! Thank you so much for your videos. You have helped me a lot in project management. I'm preparing for my pmp.

[@izenbridge]

All the best!! Keep exploring

[@George-nq2mx]

thank so much for video :)!! in case we realize during execution there might be a new risk not mentioned in the risk register do we need to send a CR ? and if we want to use the risk and management reserves do we also need to send a CR for that?

[@izenbridge]

It is is a good question. If we identify a new risk and if we need to implement a risk response - In this case, you have not mentioned anything in the baselined plan you have to raise a change request. Other case is you have a consolidated contingency reserve you may plan to use this reserve instead of raising a change request. If you have a risk reserve, then there is no need to raise a change request because there is already a provision in the baselined plans. For more details, please watch the following video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/p2K2c6ywiZWaiqs

[@George-nq2mx]

@@izenbridge thank you so much for the support you are the best :)

[@artman62579]

I am still confused by some of the questions that the answer is "Submit a change request first" instead of evaluate the impact. I assume if you do not see the question stated a change request has been submitted, then your next step is to submit one first?

[@achinchhabra7663]

I agree with you your comment brother. I am also having same issue with the mocks.

[@999dober]

Can you paste one similar question here? Just to understand if any keyword was missed.

[@JMQUICENO]

I have a question, as soon as a stakeholder suggest a change what would you do? My question is: I evaluate the impact? or first I have to documented and then I proceed to make a preliminary impact before sent it to the board? SECOND QUESTION: When do I have to put down in the change log? As soon as the stakeholder asks for the change or at the end when the board approved/rejected?

[@izenbridge]

The change management plan explains what you should first. You need to document the first change request. Else how would it be available to all to analyze its impact? The change log need a continuous update. Whenever you get a request, update it. When you are in review- update it. When you get approval, update it. And if it gets rejected, update it. It tracks the progress of each change.

[@007binesh]

Well explained Sir. Many questions from this topic have appeared in the real exam which was really confusing to choose the best answer. I have some doubts, how can I contact you?

[@izenbridge]

Happy to know that you found value in the course. Keep exploring.

[@littlecutiepiedia2940]

Nice video , who will do impact analysis?

[@izenbridge]

WHO in case of PMP depends on your project management plan, usually as part of it you have RACI where you identify it. PM is expected to get it done, in many case PM may do it.

[@ArshadM78]

During execution in a Hybrid project, one key stakeholder requests the Project Manager for a change in a work package for which work has not started yet. What should the Project Manager do NEXT? a) Ask the stakeholder to raise a formal change request b) Document the change request in the change log

[@izenbridge]

Do we have more options? if these are the only options B is definitely not relevant since you need to have change request first before you log it in change log. But i feel we can have better options, if one has to select from this, i advice go for A.

[@arindamabhattacharya]

When will the change be executed..after approval or after communication to stakeholders?

[@izenbridge]

Thank you for asking. Once we have approved change request, the project manager needs to ensure that the project management plan (schedule, resource, work package, scope etc) gets updated based on the approved change. The execution happens based on the plan. Some changes need an act in this week, some may need to act after month.

[@_suitsandskulls_6009]

Sometimes an input to the control processes in each knowledge area is "an approved change request" what is the purpose of that? I dont see CRs flowing into your knowledge area control processes in your flow chart, only out.

[@_suitsandskulls_6009]

I figure it out, sometimes "approved" change requests (CRs) flow into the Direct and manage work, control quality, and control procurement because the approved CRs themselves effect the control process. makes sense.

[@izenbridge]

True!! Also approved change requests need to be completed and Direct and Manage Project Work is the process which implements approved changes to achieve the project's objectives. To know more, please watch - kzbin.info/www/bejne/gqPEhIGCYriUiLs

[@Potencyfunction]

What change can be done when someone is not approved from day one. From who is the misunderstanding? From the one who refuse or for the one who does not understood a refuze? Is in India clear the language waste of time?

[@sie3946]

a PM communicates with stakeholders rather than communicate to stakeholders. I guess
