Hey guys, welcome to EduHubSpot PMP Mindset video series.
In this video I'm going to talk about topic project progress, how the project is progressed
in the predictive projects, and how the project progresses in the agile projects.
So we'll differentiate between those.
But before I explain that, you need to have this awesome EduHubSpot mindset tool with
you and how to get that, I will let you know at the later stages of this video.
But before we do that, first I want you to understand the concept behind it.
On the homepage of the mindset tool.
Click on project progress.
Okay, let's see.
So the project progress is clearly documented and evaluated in relation to the plan on the
traditional projects.
Usually the working product is not made public until at least the testing stage.
Exactly.
So on the traditional projects, first of all, documentation is clearly done.
It's well articulated.
The product which is being created, would be released, would be created the way it is
mentioned or documented in the plan.
Like that's at least what it is.
It's not made public at all.
So really the project progress, you will actually see it at the later stages of the project
when you really see the product in hand as a customer.
On the agile side, minimal documentation and measurement against the planned MVP.
So you create more likely a minimum viable product and the working product typically
available in the early stages of the project.
And you can see the project's progress in a much better way because you can see the
product in your hand at more early stages of the project.
So you can clearly say that on the agile projects, you can see the project progress in a much
better way if you compare it to the traditional projects.
Okay, let's see.
Let's do one question.
Your team is deciding on how to monitor the project progress and you are deciding between
a burn up or burn down chart, which among the following is not a characteristic of either.
So basically this is a not question.
So we need to find out which is, which is an incorrect statement out of this.
So option A, Burn up chart clearly indicates the impact of scope change on the project
progress.
That's exactly true.
It's actually the burnup chart that shows the scope change.
So that's actually a correct statement.
So this means that's not the right answer because the question is asking which of the
following is not a characteristic.
So option A is wrong, Double click, and you can see it's the wrong choice.
Option B, Burn down chart shows the rate at which the work is being done.
It shows the work remaining with respect to time.
That's actually the correct statement as well, because burn down chart is all about the work
remaining.
So that should not be the correct choice as well, because the question is about not a
characteristic.
B is a characteristic, so that's a wrong choice.
Okay, option C, both the charts trend in opposite direction.
That is exactly correct.
Once again, a true statement and the question is about not a true statement.
So C is also wrong.
You can eliminate that.
Now, let's see D, Burn down chart is better than Burn up chart and it shows clearly when
the scope increased, when it decreased, and how it impacted the progress.
That is an incorrect statement.
It's not the Burn down chart which shows it's actually the Burn up chart, which shows the
scope chain, which was your option A. So option A was a true statement.
Option D is not a correct statement, and the question is about not.
So D should be your correct answer choice.
You can click here to see the answer explanation, and you can click on this video to have a
video explanation as well for this question.
Okay, there is another question.
If you want to practice another question, you can definitely do that, but I will not
do that for you.
In order for you to do that, you need this tool.
How will you get this tool?
Click on the first, go back to the homepage.
How to get this tool for free of cost.
Just go on my website, www.eduhubspot.com.
When you go on my website, you will see two options over there, either bottom right hand
side, you will see an option of chat, like click on that chat option, talk to one of
my team member, or you request a demo, book a demo and you will directly, based on the
timeline, you can connect directly with one of my team member and they're going to set
up a 30-minute zoom call with you.
Now, what is the purpose of this zoom call?
They are going to explain you how to use this tool.
They are going to understand your background, what you are doing, how you are doing in your
studies, and they will give you some pointers.
After the end of that zoom call, they are going to email this mindset tool for you free
of cost.
If you are my student or if you are not my student, you will irrespective of that, you
will get this tool free of cost.
Only thing I ask from you is go on my website and talk to them.
Give us those 30 minutes, because ultimately I want to make sure that I am impacting your
life, not just by helping you pass the PMP exam, but you know touching your hearts.
That is my end goal.
And please don't forget to like and subscribe to my YouTube channel because I am going to
explain this entire 15 concepts, everything.
Like before the real PMP, you have to watch these 15 sections, wear your PMI hat in order
to pass this exam successfully and don't forget to send me an email when you pass this exam
because these emails helped me a lot.
It motivates me a lot to make something as beautiful, like something like PMI mindset
tool, which I did.
I hope you guys liked my mindset video on Project progress.
My next video is about success measurements on the predictive projects and on the Agile
projects.
So please watch that.
And on the other hand, you will see my most favorite video.
Thank you.
