@davidmclachlanproject, thanks for the video. My only concern is about question 130, since "raisin a concern" and " Doesn't seem" are more related to possibilities than something that is happening. How we can see the difference between the risk and issue on that one? Thanks
I am a little confused by the answer to Q122. The PMBOK and its various preparation courses repeatedly preach PDCA and demand that a situation must first be analyzed before action is taken. The supposedly correct answer to Q122 suggests that as a PM, the next step is to place the feature in the product backlog and prioritize it. These are the Product Owner's responsibilities, and I would never have marked this answer as correct. My job as a PM is to analyze the impact on the project and then discuss with the PO and the team whether the feature can be included. The same procedure was followed for other questions. Why is it wrong here?!
As we all know, prioritizing the product backlog is the job of the product owner. However, for question 128, you say the correct answer involves re-prioritizing the product backlog - despite the fact that, presumably, when we answer these questions we are doing so from the perspective of the project manager, not the product owner, unless otherwise specified (and it's not specified in question 128.) Why, then, does this answer require re-prioritizng the product backlog?
The key word is "Your" meaning you take responsibility for the project whether your the PO or not but the key is that the benefit is High and the complexity is Low, now imagine doing a MoSCoW or Cost-Benefit with this criteria, you would be jumping at the feature to place it high on the backlog and priotize it ASAP. Remember in Agile the no.1 rule is that you need to look for opportunities to add Value and the above is value. Hope this helps...
125. Business Model Canvas for each feature? Business Model Canvas is for the whole startup or business not for each features. help me understand the logic behind choosing the answer.
Good question. The overall idea is: Each feature or deliverable in Agile is like a mini project in itself. We go through analysis, design, build, test, release for each usable increment. Each one of these may have different customers (or beneficiaries, internal or external to the company), different revenue sources, different strengths and different weaknesses. Doing any of the canvases will help us prioritize, and ensure we are delivering customer value: Business Model Canvas, Lean Model Canvas, or a good ol' fashioned business case. Why? In the real world, we'll get Executives pushing useless features on us, things they like, the latest trends, things their friends or family are invested in, etc. Doing these canvases or cases helps filter this muck.... 😂 Even though sometimes we will must concede, as they might be providing funding or resources.
Thank you, David! Passed my PMP: first try, even got one AT to boot. Appreciate your content, positivity and knowledge
These are actually difficult questions!!
Appreciated!
David today I passed PMP exam and your videos helps me lot . Thanks
Were the questions similar tough level or more?

same thought, hope that we have a clear explanation
For the Q127, why not Option D is the solution....?
