Project Management Professional (PMP) — Question 1094

At the start of a project, the sponsor declares that demonstrating benefits from the product will be extremely important. The project sponsor calls a meeting with the project manager and the project leadership team to discuss the best approach because the project has a high degree of uncertainty and many changes are expected.

What should the project manager propose?

Answer options

• A. Develop requirements and designs to support a faster product release.
• B. Outsource development of the product to a third party with more experience.
• C. Recommend an agile approach so the project can be delivered iteratively.
• D. Emphasize the adoption of a predictive approach to minimize ambiguity.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because an agile approach allows for flexibility and iterative development, which is essential in uncertain environments. Options A and D do not address the need for adaptability in the face of change, while B may not ensure the necessary alignment with the project sponsor's focus on benefits.
