PMP · Question 40 · Task 13: Determine appropriate project methodology/methods and practices

A project manager is working on a regulatory compliance project where requirements are well-defined and unlikely to change. However, the regulatory agency has indicated they want to see incremental progress and provide feedback throughout the project to ensure alignment. The project team has experience with both predictive and agile methodologies. Which approach should the project manager recommend?

Answer options:

A.

Pure predictive approach since requirements are stable and well-defined

B.

Pure agile approach to accommodate the regulatory agency's feedback needs

C.

Hybrid approach with predictive planning and incremental delivery for regulatory feedback

D.

Iterative approach with multiple development cycles

How to approach this question

Analyze project characteristics: stable requirements (predictive benefits) + stakeholder feedback needs (agile benefits) = hybrid approach.

Full Answer

C.Hybrid approach with predictive planning and incremental delivery for regulatory feedback✓ Correct
C
Hybrid approaches are appropriate when projects have both stable elements (requirements) and adaptive needs (stakeholder feedback). This maximizes the benefits of both methodological approaches.

Common mistakes

Choosing pure methodologies when the project has characteristics that benefit from both predictive and adaptive approaches.
