Project Management Professional (PMP) — Question 690

A project manager is working on a project that is using a hybrid approach. One key input for the deliverable will be from the outcome of another project that is using an agile approach.

What should the project manager do next?

Answer options

• A. Participate in the other project's daily standup meetings.
• B. Ask the other project manager to change the delivery methodology.
• C. Align with the other project manager's high-level project time lines.
• D. Request that the other project manager develop a work breakdown structure (WBS).

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because aligning with the other project manager's high-level timelines ensures that both projects are synchronized and can effectively integrate their outputs. Option A is less effective as it doesn't guarantee a strategic overview, while B is inappropriate since changing methodologies isn't practical. Option D may be useful but does not address the need for timeline alignment.
