Project Management Professional (PMP) — Question 447

A project manager is managing a very important business transformation project. The goal of the project is to extend a desktop application with a mobile application module. The marketing department believes that a main competitor is working on a similar product.
Which delivery approach should the project manager use for this project?

Answer options

• A. Extreme Programming (XP) delivery, to mitigate the high risk related to a new product
• B. Traditional delivery, to ensure high quality and that the product meets market demands
• C. Incremental delivery, to ensure that mobile capability is released fast to the users
• D. Iterative delivery, to ensure that user feedback is incorporated into the second iteration

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, Incremental delivery, as it allows for the rapid release of mobile capabilities to users, which is crucial given the competitive landscape. Option A, Extreme Programming (XP), focuses on high-risk mitigation but may not prioritize speed of delivery. Option B, Traditional delivery, emphasizes quality but may not address the urgency of releasing the mobile application. Option D, Iterative delivery, is beneficial for incorporating feedback but may not provide the immediate mobile functionality needed.
