Hi Paul, how does your answer above match with the APM BoK7 PMP components of; Who, How, What, Where, When, How Much and Why (Figure 4.2.10)?
Thank you.
Hi
This is from 2018 so is based on BoK6. It’s also not in the format of an exam answer. My who, what, when etc is a prompt list highlighting areas you could cover if you are stuck. It’s not a straight jack to be used in every answer, they are hints if you get stuck. The PMP has lots of content in the what part so you don’t need the others. I hope that helps.
Thanks Paul for updating this answer – it’s always good to remind candidates answering “describe” questions such as “Describe The Five Major Components of a Project Management Plan” for the the APM PMQ exam (formerly known as the APMP) the importance of adding enough detail to show that they have both a basic understanding and a deeper understanding of the topic.
And also good to be reminded to actually list the components first that they are going on to describe. The list alone, as you say elsewhere, is worth 20% of the total marks for such a question.
Hi I edited your answer to improve the structure and content.
The first four points are fine, but the last one needs a bit more detail.
