Certified Associate in Project Management (CAPM) — Question 126

Recently, the government published a new tax law giving companies one year to implement the changes. A project was initiated to change the accounting system.

Which delivery approach is most suitable in this context?

Answer options

• A. Predictive, because the requirements are clearly defined up-front.
• B. Adaptive, because the changes have never been implemented before.
• C. Predictive, because of the high risk that the company can be fined.
• D. Adaptive, because the government will provide constant feedback.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because the requirements for the accounting system changes are well-defined due to the new tax law, making a predictive approach suitable. Options B and D suggest an adaptive approach, which is unnecessary here since the requirements are known. Option C, while highlighting risk, does not address the clarity of the requirements, which is crucial for choosing a predictive approach.
