Project Management Professional (PMP) — Question 431

A company is conducting a digital transformation project that has a hard deadline. The marketing team wants to combine this implementation with a new product, and the newly assigned project manager is not aware of all the dependencies.
Using a hybrid approach, what should the project manager do to ensure the dependencies are taken into consideration?

Answer options

• A. Implement a project newsletter so the different team members can be informed about the progress of each project.
• B. Make sure that each individual project schedule is aligned with the common deadlines.
• C. Combine all of the small projects into one big project so the team can collaborate better as one big team.
• D. Facilitate communication promoting a Scrum of Scrums so the different teams are aware of the dependencies and progress.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because facilitating a Scrum of Scrums promotes regular communication and awareness of dependencies across teams, which is essential in a hybrid approach. Option A, while informative, does not directly address dependency management. Option B focuses on alignment but may overlook interdependencies. Option C could complicate the project structure and hinder collaboration rather than enhance it.
