PMP · Question 09 · Task 13: Determine appropriate project methodology/methods and practices

A construction project for a new hospital has strict regulatory requirements, detailed architectural plans, and a fixed completion date. However, the medical equipment selection and interior design elements can evolve based on staff feedback during construction. Which project approach is MOST appropriate?

Answer options:

Predictive approach because the regulatory requirements and fixed date require traditional planning

Agile approach because the evolving requirements for equipment and design need iterative delivery

Hybrid approach with predictive planning for construction and adaptive elements for equipment/design decisions

Iterative approach with multiple cycles allowing continuous refinement of all project aspects

How to approach this question

Analyze which project elements are fixed/regulated versus which can evolve. Look for approaches that can handle both characteristics simultaneously.

Full Answer

C.Hybrid approach with predictive planning for construction and adaptive elements for equipment/design decisions✓ Correct

Hybrid approaches allow different project elements to use the most appropriate methodology. Fixed elements use predictive planning while adaptive elements use iterative approaches.

Common mistakes

Trying to apply one methodology to all project elements instead of recognizing that complex projects often need hybrid approaches.
