PM-FPX5332 moves past initial project planning into the harder operational reality of running a project — executing the plan, monitoring performance against baselines, managing the inevitable changes, and reporting status accurately to stakeholders. You'll build an execution plan, design a monitoring and control framework, create a change management plan, and deliver a status presentation. This guide breaks down what each assessment expects and how academic support for PM-FPX5332 fits into a course where rubrics specifically reward measurable control mechanisms over planning narrative.
Course Overview
This course treats project execution and control as a distinct discipline from initial planning — the skills needed to keep a project on track once it's underway, including variance analysis, earned value concepts, and formal change control. Expect each assessment to require concrete, measurable mechanisms (specific KPIs, control thresholds, a documented change process) rather than general statements about "monitoring progress."
Key Assessments
-
1Project Execution Plan
Develops a plan for executing a chosen project, detailing how the team will carry out the work defined in the baseline scope, schedule, and budget. Graded on operational specificity, not a restatement of the planning documents.
-
2Monitoring and Control Framework
Builds on Assessment 1 — designs specific metrics and control thresholds (often using earned value management concepts) for tracking schedule and cost performance against the baseline.
-
3Change Management Plan
A formal change control process for handling scope, schedule, or budget changes during execution, including a change request workflow and approval criteria.
-
4Project Status Presentation
A presentation reporting simulated project status against the baseline, using the monitoring metrics from Assessment 2 to justify the report.
How We Help With PM-FPX5332
- Designing an execution plan with concrete operational detail, not a repeat of the original project plan
- Applying earned value management concepts (CPI, SPI, EAC) correctly in the Assessment 2 monitoring framework
- Building a change management plan with a real workflow — request, impact analysis, approval authority — not just a policy statement
- Structuring the Assessment 4 status presentation around the specific metrics defined earlier, showing genuine data-driven reporting
- APA 7 formatting and correct PMBOK terminology across all four assessments
Common Challenges in This Course
The most common point loss on Assessment 1 is an execution plan that just repeats the project's scope and schedule instead of explaining how the work will actually be carried out and coordinated. On Assessment 2, students often describe monitoring in vague terms ("track progress regularly") instead of defining specific metrics and threshold values that trigger action. On Assessment 3, change management plans frequently skip the approval authority and impact-analysis steps that rubrics specifically look for in a complete change control process.

PM-FPX5332 FAQ
It's not required, but many students do reuse a project from a prior course since the baseline documents (charter, scope, schedule) provide a head start for this course's execution and control work.
Most rubrics expect at least a basic application of EVM concepts like cost and schedule performance indexes in the monitoring framework.
Yes — each assessment builds on the execution plan from Assessment 1, so consistency across the sequence is expected and graded.
PM-FPX5332 covers general execution, monitoring, and change control; PM-FPX5333 focuses specifically on budgeting/procurement/quality, and PM-FPX5334 focuses specifically on risk — together they form the graduate PM core sequence.
Most sections don't require specific software — metrics and frameworks can be presented in Word/Excel as long as the analysis is sound.
