ACMP Global CCMP Exam - Topic 2 Question 5 Discussion

Actual exam question for ACMP Global's CCMP exam
Question #: 5
Topic #: 2
[All CCMP Questions]

A new change initiative is being planned at an organization. Efforts are made by the change management lead to outline the case for change including the current opportunities, risks, consequences of the change, and the benefits of the change and how it aligns to the organization's strategic priorities. What is the next key action to be taken?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: C

Once the case for change has been defined, ACMP recommends developing a clear vision of the future state. This provides a compelling picture of what success will look like, aligning stakeholders and guiding all downstream planning. Determining why the change is required (A) is already covered by the case for change. The charter (B) formalizes scope later, and success criteria (D) are developed after the vision is articulated. Thus, option C reflects the logical next step.

(Reference: ACMP Standard, Process Group 2 -- Formulate; Activities: Define case for change, then articulate a vision of the future state.)

Developing the change charter sounds familiar, but I wonder if we should clarify the vision first. It’s tough to decide!

I feel like we should first determine why the change is required. That seems like a foundational step before anything else.

I'm not totally sure about this one. I'm debating between B) Develop the change charter and D) Identify goals, objectives and success criteria. Either of those could make sense as the next step.

I'm a bit confused on this one. Is it B) Develop the change charter? That seems like it could be the right answer, but I'm not totally sure.
