A project manager manages a bridge construction project. The project manager has received a major change request from a regulatory stakeholder to add one branch of the bridge to the engineering design. The project manager prepared a change request, which was reviewed and accepted by the change control board
(CCB).
What should the project manager do now?
Once the change request is approved by the change control board (CCB), the project manager's immediate next step should be to notify the project team about the change request's approval. This ensures that all relevant team members are aware of the change and can begin preparations to implement it. The subsequent steps, such as updating the project management plan, modifying the design, and communicating further with stakeholders, will follow from there.
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...
exactly
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. Evaluate the adjustments to the project management plan. PMBOK 6th Edition (4.6): "Approved change requests can require new or revised cost estimates, activity sequences, schedule dates, resource requirements, and/or analysis of risk response alternatives. These changes can require adjustments to the project management plan and other project documents. Customer or sponsor approval may be required for certain change requests after CCB approval, unless they are part of the CCB"
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.
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!
Team members and other people are part of stakeholders - inclusive, therefore better answer than A. --> answer is C
A is correct
The CR was approved. D is before approval
A and B part of D activities.
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
D. Evaluate the adjustments to the project management plan. after that deplyment the official management plan to the others
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.
As the PMI says https://www.projectmanagement.com/wikis/396744/change-management-process-for-project 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
