PMP · Question 04 · Task 13: Determine appropriate project methodology/methods and practices

A construction company is building a hospital with strict regulatory requirements, detailed architectural plans, and a fixed completion date for the opening. However, the medical equipment selection and interior design can evolve based on staff feedback during construction, and the hospital administration wants to see progress on these elements every month. Which project approach would be MOST appropriate for this scenario?

Answer options:

A.

Predictive - The regulatory requirements and fixed completion date require traditional waterfall planning

B.

Agile - The evolving requirements for equipment and design need iterative delivery and stakeholder feedback

C.

Hybrid - Predictive approach for construction with agile elements for equipment and design decisions

D.

Iterative - Multiple development cycles allow for continuous refinement of all project aspects

How to approach this question

Identify which project elements are fixed/stable (construction, regulatory) versus evolving (equipment, interior design), then match methodologies to each component.

Full Answer

C.Hybrid - Predictive approach for construction with agile elements for equipment and design decisions✓ Correct
C
Hybrid approaches recognize that complex projects often have components with different characteristics. Fixed, regulated construction benefits from predictive planning while evolving interior elements benefit from adaptive approaches.

Common mistakes

Trying to apply one methodology to all project components instead of recognizing that different elements may need different approaches.
