Project Management Professional (PMP) — Question 38

A customer reviewed the plan for a project with high uncertainty. The customer expressed concerned about the work requiring so many iterations with a risk of not reaching the mandatory delivery date.
Which approach should the project manager use in this situation?

Answer options

• A. Predictive approach
• B. Kanban approach
• C. Hybrid approach
• D. Agile approach

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The Hybrid approach combines elements of both predictive and agile methods, allowing for flexibility in managing uncertainties while still adhering to essential deadlines. The Predictive approach may not accommodate the need for iterations effectively, while the Kanban approach focuses on continuous flow rather than iterations. The Agile approach, while adaptive, may not sufficiently address the concerns about mandatory delivery dates.
