This podcast is made by Ran Chen, who holds an EA license, Insurance and Securities licenses (Series 6, 63, 65), and the CFP® designation. He is passionate about opening access to high-quality exam preparation resources and helping learners prepare more effectively for professional certification exams.

In this episode you will learn: - Impact analysis is the critical first step to evaluate all potential consequences before a requirements change is approved or implemented. - A complete analysis covers impacts to other requirements, solution design, schedule, cost, resources, quality, and risk. - The Requirements Traceability Matrix (RTM) is a key document that must be updated during impact analysis to trace dependencies. - Common CAPM exam traps include selecting answers with a narrow analysis (e.g., only cost/schedule) or skipping the analysis and going directly to the Change Control Board. - The core question of impact analysis is "What breaks if we make this change?", forcing a holistic view of project effects.
