Certified Associate in Project Management (CAPM) — Question 164

A project manager is assigned to a new project with a defined scope. The project requires advanced planning at the start of the project.

Which approach should the project manager select for the project?

Answer options

• A. Adaptive
• B. Predictive
• C. Hybrid
• D. Kanban

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct approach for a project with a defined scope that requires advanced planning is the Predictive methodology, as it emphasizes detailed planning and a structured approach from the beginning. The Adaptive approach is more flexible and suited for projects with changing requirements, while Hybrid combines elements of both but is not focused strictly on advanced planning. Kanban is a visual management tool and is less about planning and more about workflow management.
