@@emadkhateeb5668 Thank you for your kind encouraging words.. Actually I’ve delayed my exam till March due to my work requirements.. wish you all the best..
Ray, another excellent and very helpful video from yours! I am watching all your videos for my PMP preparation study. I was lucky to find your youtube channel! Thank you very much :)
I am sorry to hear that you were not able to clear the exam in your first attempt. But, don't worry...it is a difficult exam and we all agree to that. Watch my video on "Why people FAIL in the PMP Exam" to get a better understanding of your gaps and course correct accordingly.
Ray - This is Superb. I admire the way you've approached & listed down logical sequence to approach situational questions. Very unique and novel. keep up the good work
Hello, thank you very much for the video, I had a question and I hope you can answer me. In question 4, why are we in the starting or planning stage? If the statement says: during the development phase of the project, doesn't it mean that it is in the Execution phase? Also, regarding the Risk Register, I am confused, according to the instructions in the video of the 49 processes, the risk register (I understand that it is the identification of risks) is in the "planning stage", then why is it here? Did you tell us that this risk register is not yet prepared because they are still in the "planning phase"? Thank you very much in advance!
Fantastic, I'm about to appear in the test within three weeks from now. I realize how it easy to understand the criticality of the test by your UT session. I'm unfortunate to know about your UT so late. Thanks & Regads
It is good if you make individual chapter video of the PMBOK guide. Till now I am very happy with the work you are doing. This is just the request if possible.
Superb Ray... very simple and clear. Great teacher you are. Keep up the good work. I am already watching an another authors udemy class where i have a bit issues with understanding his english as he is a native speaker. But your teaching is awesome and can be understood by anyone. If i would have seen your videos before i would have bought your course early. However I am gonna buy your udemy course soon
I'm totally enjoying your sessions. They are very clear...they actually have me very excited to continue with what I thought at first to be a very daunting task. Thank you and thank you 👍
Hi Odette. I am very happy to know that you are finding my UA-cam videos helpful. I wish you all the very best for your PMP prep! Keep an eye on my UA-cam channel for more upcoming tutorial videos (as per the new format of the PMP exam in 2021) and please share them within your network & peer group who are also preparing for the PMP exam… Take care,
Hi Nazrul. You can do that by practice, practice and practice. The more questions you solve using this framework, the more natural it will become for you and the lesser time it will take!
Dear Ray, All your work are excellent - Thanks. Question#4 says "During the development phase of the project" with these words, I assumed that project is in execution phase and not in initiation phase and therefore opted Risk Register. Not sure, whether myself or question needs correction.
Hello Ray. I have some doubts in question 2 of Integration management. According to me option D seems to be the right answer in the given scenario: Let's assume that the project manager approaches the Finance dept. directly, which is a usual exercise in real-life situations. But since answer C also states "...delay the project", it becomes invalid because the sponsor wants to close the project early; and the project manager cannot ignore the sponsor's early closure request, as long as the request is within the boundaries of business ethics (or unless the scenario would suggest that an early closure of the project is not viable). With answer C appearing invalid (based on what I just explained), the only valid choice the project manager is left with, is answer D.
Hi Zeal, option D is incorrect because it is not portraying the servant leadership & collaborative attitude of the PM. The sponsor is not the 'boss' of the project. You can always challenge the sponsor's request with the correct datapoints.
I believe in this situation there is no impact to the project baselines due to the delay. It seems only some paperwork pending with the vendor. So no problem to wait for the vendor to sort out the problem with the invoice and then formally close the project.
Hello Ray, Thanks for the video. Situational questions are not easy for me. Your strategy is really helping me in addressing them. Can we have more videos like this?
With reference to question number 3, you mentioned that we have to "document change request" and then proceed to analyze the impact on baseline.. But what I understand is that we need to analyse the impact on baselines first coz, we need to check if the change can be managed by the PM or it need to go through the CCB. There are certain changes where there is an exception such as 1) Before the baselines get updated, PM has full authority to make a change 2) If it does not impact the baselines, then the PM can proceed to make the change In both the scenarios, we need to analyse first before we document the change request.. isn't it? Can you please clarify as to why you mention it otherwise? I have gone through the other video too and I am still confused
Hi. Thank you for asking your doubt. Unfortunately, your understanding of ICC flow is not correct...may I know from were you got this understanding? Definitely not PMBOK or any standard text book? Are you using your own experience of doing projects to develop the flow? I need to know this before I clarify your doubt.
Yes, I guessed it. See, for PMP, always think of answers in PMBOK way. I have explained the same in my videos as well. Don't bring external frameworks in your consideration, otherwise you will always end up choosing wrong answers...
Hi Bahauddin! Thanks for watching and for your lovely comment! Will come up with the Scope Management video in this playlist soon...already shooting it :)
Question 2: option d seems a better choice than c. A project manager cant sit idle for vendor to re-submit claims and who knows how long will it gonna take. Its like you have everything done but still SPI will be less than 1 and so much to answer for this delay. On a lighter side - I would love to delay for resubmission than joining a new project.. Just for fun :-)
Dear Ray bhai If it is possible , kindly update ITTOs for other rest chapters @ Knowledge areas as like Integration Management, Schedule Management, Scope Management ...
Hi, I disagree with the wording and the answer in question 4 - it mentions during the development phase. Which I understand is the execution phase (i.e. Developing deliverables), it also mentions ('may' violate PII = i.e. Risk) which could mean risk register or charter. Can you clarify how you have linked it between initiation and planning? Thanks
There is nothing called 'developing deliverables' in PMBOK. Also, there is a difference between 'reviewing' and 'updating'. Hence Risk Register is not correct.
Please consider adding it as a bonus for users of your mock stimulator. I am almost through with the practice tests. They are really tough! I mean tasking.
Hi Ray, Please clarify the answer for the second question. You are saying , correct answer is option 3, but in that it was mentioning -the delay the project closure till the issue is solved. Is it correct?
Yes, that's correct. In this case, delaying the project closure does not impact your customer. For him, the project is already done. But, you need to sort this issue out with your supplier before you close the project formally...
Hi Pavel...The only questions I have found which replicate the difficulty level of PMP exam are the 200 set questions from PMI. I have one video on how to access those. Have a look. You can try PrepCast simulators as well...I heard they are good...
HI ray, it is really useful!!however, I was confused when you talked about development project phase and in the question analysis it looks like it meant project initiating phase! I thought it meant executing, is this language / wording stated somewhere in PMBOK?or is that a common uderstanding?
In question 4 you eliminated option B (risk register) because it is probably not yet done. In question 5, shouldn't the option B also be eliminated for the same reason, instead of your argument of not being inclusive? Am I right to think about it this way?
No. For Q4, risk register is primarily eliminated because you will not find PII guidelines in risk register....for Q5 it is eliminated because it's not a professional PM approach (blaming & fault finding)...
Hi, I have a doubt about question 4. The option "Statement of work" does not mean the agreements and contracts? As the agreement is one of the inputs to develop the charter. Can you clear me, why we need not consider choice 4 is wrong, please?
@@PMPwithRay "Development phase of a project" means the project is under the initiation phase only. Also, the PII is a governance issue, the project charter is the right answer. Now I understood. Thank you so much.
On question number 1. Shouldn’t A be the answer? You cannot handover a project to operation without formal acceptance of the deliverable. For answer to be D. I think the correct explanation is that the phrase “completed an application development” means you have already secured a formal acceptance. And the reason you keep getting requests is that you haven’t formally handed over to operations. Would love to hear your thoughts?
Hello. 'Handover' of a project is a process and not a 1-time thing. Handover involves closing all the pending items of the project as well...the second part as you explained is another way of looking at it.
@@PMPwithRay Hello Ray Thanks for your educational videos. On this question I am also of the view that option A should be right choice. As without Formal Acceptance of the deliverables by the customer ,project hand over can't happen. Please suggest on this 🙏
In question number 4, it says during the development of the project. This made me confuse that it might be execution phase and I deleted exactly two right options at the first. How to get over such confusion?
The project is in development in the initiation phase only Sanket. Can you explain what made you think that development of a project happens during execution as well?
Development of project scope and business case. Whenever you see the term 'development' in actual PMP exam, take it in context of Initiation or Planning (unless stated otherwise)
In question4: Hi Ray, wanted to understand - The Project Charter once done and approved will not be changed so how do we review it again? it is not a iterative process.
Hi Chethana. Thank you for watching & commenting. reviewing here means referring to the charter. So, what you are essentially doing it is scanning the same for any mentions of PII terms & conditions. And yes, project charters do get revised if a formal ICC process documents it.

Got all answers correct.

For Question 1 it was not mentioned the customer acceptance of project. How customer will accept project with issues. How to conclude it is option 4.

@@PMPwithRay "Development phase of a project" means the project is under the initiation phase only. Also, the PII is a governance issue, the project charter is the right answer. Now I understood. Thank you so much.
Nice one! All the best...
Can u add videos like this to ur practice questions on udemy
Hi Nawaz, thanks for the suggestion. I would definitely consider that...
Thanks...
Hi Anjali
Thanks for watching.
I need the behaviour framework PDF.
No. Please take a screenshot of the video.
On question number 1. Shouldn’t A be the answer? You cannot handover a project to operation without formal acceptance of the deliverable.
For answer to be D. I think the correct explanation is that the phrase “completed an application development” means you have already secured a formal acceptance. And the reason you keep getting requests is that you haven’t formally handed over to operations.
Would love to hear your thoughts?
Hello. 'Handover' of a project is a process and not a 1-time thing. Handover involves closing all the pending items of the project as well...the second part as you explained is another way of looking at it.
@@PMPwithRay Hello Ray Thanks for your educational videos. On this question I am also of the view that option A should be right choice. As without Formal Acceptance of the deliverables by the customer ,project hand over can't happen. Please suggest on this 🙏
Mr Ray,
Is this topic included in new format of PMP exam as PMI introduced.
Hi Haroon...Situational questions will continue to be an integral part of PMP exam even in it's new format...thanks for watching!
In question number 4, it says during the development of the project. This made me confuse that it might be execution phase and I deleted exactly two right options at the first. How to get over such confusion?
The project is in development in the initiation phase only Sanket. Can you explain what made you think that development of a project happens during execution as well?
Development work of the deliverables or actual work of on product's development.
Development of project scope and business case. Whenever you see the term 'development' in actual PMP exam, take it in context of Initiation or Planning (unless stated otherwise)
Thanks
helpful
Glad it was helpful! Thank you for watching & commenting :)
Great
Thanks! :)
In question4: Hi Ray, wanted to understand - The Project Charter once done and approved will not be changed so how do we review it again? it is not a iterative process.
Hi Chethana. Thank you for watching & commenting. reviewing here means referring to the charter. So, what you are essentially doing it is scanning the same for any mentions of PII terms & conditions. And yes, project charters do get revised if a formal ICC process documents it.
