    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:

    A.

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

    B.

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

    C.

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

    D.

    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.
