• What will be Different?

• The exam is still based on the PMBOK Guide Sixth
  Edition.
• Two factors lead to changes in the PMP Exam
• updates to the PMBOK Guide, and (2) changes in
  the PMP Examination Content Outline.
• The PMP Examination Content Outline (ECO) only
  changes when PMI commissions a Role Delineation
  Study (RDS).
• These exam changes are the result of the recent
  RDS and 2019 ECO changes.

• What is changing on the exam?

• The new PMP Exam Content Outline includes two
  changes that will have a significant impact on
  the PMP Exam. First, the ECO states that half the
  questions will represent predictive project
  management approaches and the other half will
  represent agile or hybrid approaches. Second, the
  domains and their related tasks have changed.
• The 2015 ECO organizes the questions by the 5,
  familiar domains (Process Groups).
• The 2019 ECO groups the questions by 3 domains.

Starting The Project
28

• Task One

• Determine Appropriate Project Methodology /
  Methods And Practices

29

• Enablers

• Assess project needs, complexity, and magnitude.
  (ECO 2.13.1)
• Recommend project execution strategy (e.g.,
  contracting, finance) (ECO 2.13.2)
• Recommend a project methodology/approach (i.e.,
  predictive, agile, hybrid) (ECO 2.13.3)
• Use iterative, incremental practices throughout
  the project life cycle (ECO 2.13.4)

30

• Deliverables and Tools

31

• Life Cycle Selection

• Predictive life cycle. A more traditional
  approach, with the bulk of planning occurring
  upfront, then executing in a single pass a
  sequential process.
• Iterative life cycle. An approach that allows
  feedback for unfinished work to improve and
  modify that work.
• Incremental life cycle. An approach that provides
  finished deliverables that the customer may be
  able to use immediately.
• Agile life cycle. An approach that is both
  iterative and incremental to refine work items
  and deliver frequently.

32

• Predictive Life Cycle

• At the predictive end of the continuum, the plan
  drives the work.
• As much planning as is possible is performed
  upfront.
• Requirements are identified in as much detail as
  possible.
• The team estimates when they can deliver which
  deliverables and performs comprehensive
  procurement activities.

33

• Iterative Approach

In iterative approaches, prototypes and proofs
are also planned, but the outputs are intended to
modify the plans created in the beginning.
Earlier reviews of unfinished work help inform
future project work.
34

• Incremental Approach

• Incremental initiatives plan to deliver
  successive subsets of the overall project.
• Teams may plan several successive deliveries in
  advance or only one at a time. The deliveries
  inform the future project work.

35

• Progressive Elaboration

Progressive elaboration The iterative process of
increasing the level of detail in a project
management plan as greater amounts of information
and more accurate estimates become available.
36

• Task Two

• Plan and Manage Scope

37

• Enablers

• Determine and prioritize requirements. (EGO
  2.8.1)
• Break down scope and define acceptance criteria
  (definition of done). (EGO 2.8.2)
• Build work packages/do some work.
• Monitor, reprioritize and validate scope. (EGO
  2.8.3)

38

• Deliverables and Tools

39

• Scope Management Plan

The Scope Management Plan is a component of the
project or program management plan that describes
how the scope will be defined, developed,
monitored, controlled, and validated.
40

• Project Requirements

• Requirements include conditions or capabilities
  that are required to be present in a product,
  service, or result to satisfy an agreement or
  other formally imposed specification.
• Requirements include the quantified and
  documented needs and expectations of the sponsor,
  customer, and other stakeholders.
• These requirements need to be elicited, analyzed,
  and recorded in enough detail to be included in
  the scope baseline and to be measured once
  project execution begins

41

• Requirements Management Plan

• The Requirements Management Plan is a component
  of the project management plan that describes how
  project and product requirements will be
  analyzed, documented, and managed

• Components of the requirements management plan
  can include but are not limited to
• How requirements activities will be planned,
  tracked, and reported
• Configuration management activities such as how
  changes will be initiated how impacts will be
  analyzed how they will be traced, tracked, and
  reported as well as the authorization levels
  required to approve these changes
• Requirements prioritization process
• Traceability structure that reflects the
  requirement attributes captured on the
  traceability matrix.

42

• Elicitation Techniques/ Focus Groups

• Focus groups bring together prequalified
  stakeholders and subject matter experts to learn
  about their expectations and attitudes about a
  proposed product, service, or result.
• A Trained Moderator guides the group through an
  interactive discussion designed to be more
  conversational than a one-on-one interview.

43

• Elicitation Techniques/ Questionnaires and
  Surveys

Questionnaires and surveys are written sets of
questions designed to quickly accumulate
information from a large number of respondents.
44

• Elicitation Techniques/ Benchmarking

• Benchmarking involves comparing actual or planned
  products, processes, and practices to those of
  comparable organizations to identify best
  practices, generate ideas for improvement, and
  provide a basis for measuring performance.
• The organizations compared during benchmarking
  can be internal or external

45

• Elicitation Techniques/ Interviews

• An interview is a formal or informal approach to
  elicit information from stakeholders by talking
  to them directly. It is typically performed by
  asking prepared and spontaneous questions and
  recording the responses.
• Interviews are often conducted on an individual
  basis between an interviewer and an interviewee,
  but may involve multiple interviewers and/or
  multiple interviewees.

46

• Elicitation Techniques/ Brainstorming

• Brainstorming is a technique used to generate and
  collect multiple ideas related to project and
  product requirements

47

• Elicitation Techniques/ Decision Making

A decision that is reached with support obtained
from more than 50 of the members of the group
A decision that is reached whereby everyone
agrees on a single course of action
Unanimity
One individual takes responsibility for making
the decision for the group
A decision that is reached whereby the largest
block in a group decides, even if a majority is
not achieved.
