PMP EXAM
SAMPLE Q & A

You are managing a project to build a house for a private client. A few weeks before the project's planned
completion date, the client calls and asks to add an outdoor sauna to the property. You analyze the
project schedule and determine that this change would be fairly easy to implement without having an
impact on the completion date.
What should you do first?
A. Begin construction since the project completion date is not violated
B. Review the requested change against all other project constraints
C. Have the sponsor verify if the change violates construction regulations
D. Consult with the change control board on how to handle the change
HINT: You need to make sure you have everything you need to properly handle a change and understand
its impacts on the project.
Question

The correct answer is B.
A project manager is responsible for overseeing the development of the product of the project. This
includes managing changes that arise during execution by balancing competing constraints with the
resources available.
In the scenario presented, the project manager is faced with managing a change introduced late in the
project life cycle.
While it appears that an outdoor sauna will not be difficult to implement and that no negative
schedule impacts are anticipated, the change request must still be examined in greater detail using
the Perform Integrated Change Control process to assess the impact of the change on other project
constraints, such as the project schedule, costs, quality, resources, risks, etc., and communicate the
impact of the change to the client.
Answer

What if the cost of adding the sauna will exceed the budget the client had in mind for the project?
What if the project does not have enough resources to implement the change? These and other
questions should be asked when a change request is properly evaluated.
Therefore, of the choices provided, reviewing the requested change against all project constraints is the
best answer to the question asked.
