PMP · Question 30 · Task 13: Determine appropriate project methodology/methods and practices

A project manager is working on a software development project where the client wants to see progress every two weeks but also needs comprehensive documentation for regulatory compliance. The development team prefers agile practices but the compliance requirements suggest more predictive documentation. What approach should the project manager recommend?

Answer options:

A.

Use pure agile methodology and create documentation at the end of the project

B.

Use predictive methodology with detailed upfront documentation and bi-weekly status reports

C.

Use a hybrid approach with agile development practices and concurrent documentation processes

D.

Alternate between agile and predictive approaches for different project phases

How to approach this question

When projects have competing needs (agile delivery + compliance documentation), look for hybrid approaches that address both requirements simultaneously.

Full Answer

C.Use a hybrid approach with agile development practices and concurrent documentation processes✓ Correct
C
Hybrid approaches allow projects to combine the benefits of different methodologies to address multiple, sometimes competing, project requirements.

Common mistakes

Trying to use pure methodologies when project requirements clearly indicate the need for hybrid approaches that combine different elements.
