Project Management Professional (PMP) — Question 1204

A company is using a predictive approach for the development of a particular component as defined in the scope management plan. Due to regularly changing regulatory requirements, the development team has requested to utilize agile approaches.
What should the project manager do about the development team's request?

Answer options

• A. Escalate the request for additional financial resources
• B. Forward the request to the project management office (PMO) to amend the organizational process assets
• C. Ask the project sponsor to obtain approval for implementation of the new approach
• D. Analyze the requirements that will need to be addressed under the requested method

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because the project manager needs to evaluate how the agile approach will impact the current requirements and what adjustments are necessary. Options A, B, and C do not address the immediate need to understand the implications of changing the development methodology and are not focused on the project's requirements.
