Exam PMP topic 1 question 392 discussion

before submitting a change, an assessment must be done

I think it should be A. The PM should log the risk and analyze before acting.

AI said C!

hen a customer introduces a change—like requesting earlier delivery of a work package—it constitutes a change to the project scope, schedule, or cost. According to standard change control processes in project management, the first step should be to formally document this change request and submit it through the change control process.

a could be right if without update project log and managed budget closely because there is no change at this time , no way you can update project log=))

Nothing can be done without a Change Request first.

The first step should be to formally process the customer's request by submitting a change request, which will allow the project team to evaluate the impact on budget, schedule, and resources.

Submitting a change request is the proper course of action to ensure that the project remains aligned with the approved baseline and that all stakeholders are on board with the required changes.

First step is to raise change request and then initiate impact assessment which will include A as part of the processes.

C. Submit a change request to accelerate the project as requested

Before submitting a change request, it's important to assess the situation, document it in the risk register, and update the project log. This initial step ensures that the project manager has a clear understanding of the circumstances, potential impacts, and the need for additional budget. Once this information is documented, the project manager can then proceed to submit a change request to formally address the budget increase.

I would go with C. A doesn't say anything about 'assessment' of the problem. Plus, I have never heard about a project log.

“Do first” - A Then C, submit CR…

It should be A. The first action is not to escalate, making C too brash.

Answer is C
