Project Management Professional (PMP) — Question 571

A company that is heavily focused on delivering projects using predictive approaches on-boards a new project manager who uses hybrid approaches. The scope of the project contains a number of unclear requirements.
How should the project manager plan the delivery of the project?

Answer options

• A. Ignore the unclear requirements and focus on the delivery plan of the project.
• B. Wait for the requirements to be more clear before any further action is taken on the project.
• C. Break down the requirements and prioritize the requirements into iterative work packages.
• D. Escalate the issue of unclear requirements to the management team and wait for final authorization.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because breaking down and prioritizing requirements into iterative work packages allows for flexibility and adaptability in a hybrid approach, facilitating progress despite unclear requirements. Option A is incorrect as ignoring unclear requirements can lead to project failure. Option B delays the project unnecessarily, while option D does not actively address the requirements, causing further delays.
