Certified Associate in Project Management (CAPM) — Question 471

A company must implement sales software because it is opening a new branch in a foreign market. Although this software is used in every domestic branch, multiple changes are expected during the implementation because it is a foreign location.
Which type of life cycle would the project manager use in this case?

Answer options

• A. Predictive life cycle
• B. Waterfall life cycle
• C. Hybrid life cycle
• D. Product life cycle

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, Hybrid life cycle, as it allows for flexibility to accommodate changes in a new foreign market while still providing some structure. The Predictive life cycle and Waterfall life cycle are too rigid for an environment where changes are expected, and the Product life cycle is not specifically related to project management approaches.
