Hello can you please help me to understand that do we need to update change log while documenting the change request as what I know is that it need to be updated once CCB make decisions positive or negative or defer. Can you please share tobthis @PmpwithRay

[@silverbeaver7108]

Hi, thanks very much for this video. I have a question. In the flowchart you mentioned here and in the other video, the step where you first document a change actually says 'Document/Create change request'. So how come option A is not correct in the first question? It's quite confusing.

[@PMPwithRay]

Hi, documentation of a CR is done in a 'change log'. However, creation is a separate activity where a 1-pager needs to be created to be submitted to the CCB for evaluation.

[@karandeeparora7636]

Superb Sir, way beyond the books👍👍

[@PMPwithRay]

Thanks a ton! Wish you all the best for your prep!

[@ThanviMahesh]

Hello Ray, I bought your course on Udemy, I also watch your KZbin videos they are very informative and helpful. Thanks a lot.

[@PMPwithRay]

Glad you like them! Thank you for watching & commenting.

[@meenamenon2219]

Hi.. can you pls clarify if the steps are Request > Define > DOCUMENT IN CHANGE LOG > Link To Scope > Evaluate Impact > ICC Loop > CREATE/WRITE CR > Take to CCB/Sponsor (Approver) > Decision > Update Change Log OR Request > Define > DOCUMENT IN CHANGE LOG > Link To Scope > Evaluate Impact > CREATE/WRITE CR > ICC Loop > Take to CCB/Sponsor (Approver) > Decision > Update Change Log. Am thinking its latter cause learning point # 1 mentions we write the CR after impact analysis

[@PMPwithRay]

It is the latter: Request > Define > DOCUMENT IN CHANGE LOG > Link To Scope > Evaluate Impact > CREATE/WRITE CR > ICC Loop > Take to CCB/Sponsor (Approver) > Decision > Update Change Log.

[@vivekprakash9501]

please clarify on the change request in your KZbin, and the change request By rita mulcahy 10thedition (page 119-120), there is a dichotomy.. Create a Change request in Prior ICC loop vis-a-vis in your youtube, where in it is written prior CCB formal change request is created. Further Page 120 of Rita says Agile Change Management does not require CCB approval. in addition, this is also amplified in Andrew PDUs, however, your situation based mentions regarding CCB for Agile Changes . 2), you may go through the flow of Rita's changes (Page 120)/ which is not matching by your advocated change flow. It is to further submit, Andrew Ramdayal 35 PDUs is ditto copying Rita's Change Management Flow.

[@PMPwithRay]

Hi Vivek, replied to your query on Udemy :)

[@HassanAli-ul3fv]

Hi Ray, I answered all with no problems except #2, where I thing the answer should be A(update issue log) as this is an issue that is identified and need to be captured for monitoring and controlling, PM has not yet went to customer, issue is still within project and the team, plz explain? And I really want to thank u for all ur support and great videos

[@PMPwithRay]

Hi Hassan, updating the issue log will not take you a step closer to the solution of the problem you are having. You maybe covered from a documentation standpoint, but ideally you should be updating the 'change log' not the 'issue log'.

[@jahnavishu]

You should read the question. You do not give time to read it at all. Strange way. Do you update the change log after it is approved CCB?

[@PMPwithRay]

Glad it was helpful! Thank you for watching & commenting :)

[@anuvaid4727]

Hi Ray, in quest 2, scope which team removed to meet schedule was part of agreed scope so how can this be considered as change, instead it should be taken as issue. Please suggest.

[@PMPwithRay]

Hi Anu Actually it is the reverse. SInce it is a part of agreed scope , you need to change the scope baseline. Hence, it is a change not an issue.

[@louieyuro5589]

Hi Ray in 6:20 this is not explained in the PMBOK 6th edition, if I am correct..

[@PMPwithRay]

Hi Louie Thanks for watching. Please note that the PMP exam is not a test of PMBOK. The exam tests your overall knowledge of project management and PMI is not bound to ask you questions only from PMBOK.

[@sanahadi1870]

Thanks Ray! Question, in the “change management | perform integrated change control 2020...” video, the answer to question 1 was “create a formal change request.” In that video you had said that this was referring to the 2nd step of documenting a formal change change request (ie in the change log). But in question 1 of this video you are saying that “create a change request” is referring to the step where we actually issue the request to the CCB. The only difference in these answer choices is the word “formal.” Could you please explain? Also, if documenting the change request requires updating the change log, wouldn’t this step be done at the beginning (when documenting the request) and also at the end (when updating change log with the outcome from the CCB)?

[@PMPwithRay]

Hi Sana, I would advice you NOT to view any answer choice in isolation, but to evaluate them always w.r.t. all the 4 answer choices. That's very critical and you should always do that consciously....also, while evaluating options, do use your common sense as well :) Don't blindly select any answer choice based on wording... For the question you mentioned, the answer choice selected was the 'best fit answer among the 4 options;....even if the wording was not correct.... And yes, change log is updated both during 'documenting' and after 'creating'...it is also updated after a decision is received from the CCB...

[@sanahadi1870]

[@toddp765]

Hi Ray. Loving your test prep material. I'm a bit confused. In your ICC video (kzbin.info/www/bejne/epLapWuah9Goqqs @3:47) you have " ...>>What The Change Is (Define) > Document & Create A Formal Change Request". In this video (@6:27), Point 1 defines what documenting/creating mean. This leads me to think that the ICC diagram should look something like this: Request > Define > *DOCUMENT IN CHANGE LOG* > Link To Scope > Evaluate Impact > ICC Loop > *CREATE/WRITE CR* > Take to CCB/Sponsor (Approver) > Decision > Update Change Log. Would you provide clarity? Thanks!

[@PMPwithRay]

Hi Todd. That's absolutely correct. There is a difference between documenting a CR and writing/submitting a CR...you have captured the essence correctly!

[@celilyaman3015]

@@PMPwithRay thanks Ray for your great effort. I was also a little bit confused at the beginning but saw that Mr. Todd beatifully clarified the issue. Referring to his point, in your well-prepared CMP Flowchart 3. step "Document&Create A Formal Change Request" seems to be a little misleading as it is easily confused with Create&Write CR which should be indeed a separate step after ICC Loop as Mr. Todd indicated. This should be consistent with PMP Learning Point 1 you provided in the video (Documenting Change Request vs. Creating/Writing A Change Request). Otherwise Q1 option 1 would be correct according to wording of your CMP Flowchart.

Hello Ray, today was my PMP exam, your videos helped me but unfortunately I failed. The scene with me is in 2 domain I scored above target and in 1 below target. The exam is complete set of one and they should aggregate the result, I am shocked to see the result . Need your input on this, is there any chance PMP can revisit my result before sharing it to me on my email id and declare it pass.

[@PMPwithRay]

Hi Ragini, I am very sorry to hear this. Nevertheless, you should take it on stride and look forward. The PMP is indeed a tough exam. Unfortunately, the scorecard from PMI can't be used for any decision making on why you failed, as you rightly said, it's very vague. PMI doesn't allow any reviews of your results as well. It is what it is. I would recommend that you take a few weeks break to reflect what went wrong and start afresh. There has been something fundamentally wrong and you need to find that before you start preparing again.

hi Ray, can you help me with this question? I am confused on the answer provided by the portal. Question: You are employed by a Software dev company as a PM. Your company has a policy that has a change control board (CCB) that reviews all of the change requests for every project in the org, & the CCB follows all the recommended activities outlines in the PMBOK. You and your project team do not serve as members of CCB. Based on this scenario, which of the following activities might be performed by members of CCB? A. creating a change request B. Implementing approved change requests to achieve project's objectives. C. Evaluating changes to project artificats not specified in the configurations management plan. D. Monitoring implementation of approved change requests as they occur.

Hi Ray - a quick question As per the earlier analysis by the PM, the equipmemnt for the project is to be delayed by a month. However, The PM was just notied that, the delayed equipment will arrive in 15 days. Should a PM still raise a Change request in this situation?

Depends. If it affects the schedule beyond an agreed threshold (let's say in the PM plan you mentioned that you will only raise a change request once a delay >30 days happen in a project)....then yes! After that you update baseline.

Hi Ray, I have a question. When the CCB approves a change request, but the team members are not happy with the change and does not want to perform the change. What shud the project manager do? Ask the team to perform the change as it is approved or meet the stakeholder who has raised the change request to understand the concerns?

[@PMPwithRay]

Hello. If it comes from CCB after approval, then it has already gone through the steps of analyzing & evaluating the impact etc. etc (your team members should have voiced their concerns then)...hence the next step should be to start the process of implementation...dosen't matter if all of the teams members like the change or not...

Hi! This video is quite helpful. But I have a doubt related to this and your Change Management Video. In your CMP Flowchart, Step 3 is about documenting the change in the Change Log (not creating/ writing a formal CR). Which is the step according to your flowchart where a PM has to raise a formal CR? I understand that impact analysis has to be done after documenting the change in the Log. But when is the formal CR going to be raised? Before or after impact analysis? Situational Question 1 has confused me.

Changes dosen't start from an 'issue'.....they start from a 'request'...there is a big difference....take issues as daily to/do items which you sort out with the project team day in & day out... Issue: Normal day to day working points with your team (send report, update meeting notes, order new laptop for new team member, conduct vendor induction etc. etc.) Change: Any instance which may impact your cost, scope, schedule, resources etc. (Eg. vendor got bankrupt, raw ,material delivery delayed, one of your resources leave etc., etc.)

You may have targeted an internal KPI such as '% attendance of team members in project meeting >90%'...now some of your team members shift departments, that does not necessarily mean that your scope, cost or schedule will be affected, but it means that that KPI of your's will get affected here...as a PM you can take a decision here to revise the KPI to >80% for time being...no harm done!

@PMPwithRay In the situational question 1, the option 1 is "Create a change request". As per your flow chart, "Create a change request" comes first and then "Analyse the impact" come next. So your clarification on situational question 1 is not clear.

Hello Ray, I have downloaded your ebook on pmp exam plan. I need to ask you - I am a MBA post grad and I have 5 years of experience in the areas of Online Marketing and Monitoring. I have lead some of the projects there but I have never served a role of project manager.. Mostly I have worked in the execution and control phases of projects. Must I take CAPM or PMP?

[@PMPwithRay]

Hi Nidhi, you can go for PMP provided you are able to defend your experience in project management if your application is audited. You need not 'be' a project manager to appear for PMP, but you need to have first hand experience of the roles & responsibilities of a project manager...

[@nidhishastri1125]

PMPwithRay Thank You so much for your reply. May I know what type of applications are requested for audit? I heard only a small percentage but they are decided on what basis, i would like to know. As some of my managers are now changed and I have to look for someone else in the team to represent my line managers..

[@PMPwithRay]

Hi Nidhi, during the audit, you need to provide a written statement from your manager/s that whatever you have written in the PMP application/project descriptions are true...

Just one tip from my side remember any change has to go through only only agreed change management plan or procedure as explained by ray .. all best..

[@PMPwithRay]

Thanks Arun for helping out other PMP aspirants! Appreciate it!

[@tahirtahirzade5051]

Unfortunately i did not pass. Initiating-above target Planning-target Executing-needs improvement Monitor and closing-target Closing-needs improvement. I could pass 100% this exam. When i enter the exam room i forgot to ask earplug from examiner . And in the room there 6 -7 people .some of them gave another exam, they wrote in keyboard very noisly and it started disturb me. I expected the examiner came and gave a warning (because there cameras) and i expect those people have a sense of respect and stop writing like that , but it was not like that , in the middle of the exam i lost my concentration, i lost approximately 10-15 questions. I immediately called examiner and asked her earplug , she gave me that . Because of time loosing and stress i failed . I knew i prepared well to this exam,because i sacrifise many sleepness day for that

[@PMPwithRay]

Sorry to hear about your situation. Very bad luck. No worries. Try again in the new year with the new format. If PMP is important you you, you should get it done!

[@baradakbiswal7221]

Really ray bhai u've put a great effort for this video ... thanks Another thing is that the we are waiting for rest of the process group of ITTOs ...

Hello Barada. Thank you for your comment. Yes, the ITTO videos will come out soon as well :)

[@STSN3116]

Hi in the current pattern of PMP exam are they focusing on any Agile-related questions?

[@PMPwithRay]

Yes, they are. You will get at least 5-6 Q's from Agile since it's still a part of PMP syllabus

[@STSN3116]

@@PMPwithRay Ohk, i have my exam scheduled on 27th of this month , please give your valuable inputs

[@jahnavishu]

@@STSN3116 yes there are a few questions, and most of the questions focus on the development approach and concepts regarding iterations.

[@PMPwithRay]

Hi Kiran, pls practice the questions from my 200-Q exam simulator mock on Udemy. They have questions from Agile.

[@amit167]

hi Ray, in all your questions you talk about some Rule 1 and Rule 2 (Read the stem of Question). What are the rules to look for rejections as I work with striking options and always end up with 2 options and select the wrong one.

[@PMPwithRay]

Hello Amit, that is why in the beginning of the video I mentioned to watch the 'Situational Q Framework' video. I have explained those items in great detail there. Watch this video first & you will be able to understand what I mean by rule/stem etc: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bJLGhIqbm6ism9U

[@amit167]

i got the answer, there is another video that you shared (kzbin.info/www/bejne/bJLGhIqbm6ism9U) and thats helpful... I started following you/your videos late. I wish i had met you before...

[@PMPwithRay]

Good! Now you are clear what's the framework for solving situational Q's.
