Project Management Professional (PMP) — Question 565

A project manager is assigned to a new project. The project is for a new product that the company wants to launch as soon as possible to test market readiness. The project is part of a large business transformation, and the objective is to open delivery channels for the new product.

Which delivery approach should the project manager recommend?

Answer options

• A. A predictive approach with an experienced project team.
• B. An adaptive approach with clearly defined user stories.
• C. An adaptive approach with loosely defined large epics.
• D. A predictive approach with clear acceptance criteria.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, as an adaptive approach with loosely defined large epics allows for flexibility and responsiveness to change, which is essential for quickly testing market readiness. Options A and D involve predictive approaches that may not accommodate the rapid adjustments needed in a new product launch, while option B, despite being adaptive, requires clearly defined user stories that may not align with the need for broad exploration at this stage.
