Project Management Professional (PMP) — Question 80

A company must implement a new regulation. The government has specified the date when the regulation will be enforced but has only provided high-level information on the regulation's requirements. Therefore, changes in definitions are to be expected due to uncertainty.
Which life cycle should the project manager use for this project?

Answer options

• A. A predictive execution strategy
• B. An iterative execution strategy
• C. An agile execution strategy
• D. A hybrid execution strategy

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The hybrid execution strategy is appropriate here as it combines elements of both predictive and agile methodologies, allowing for a structured approach while also accommodating changes in requirements. A predictive strategy is too rigid for uncertain conditions, while an agile strategy may not provide the necessary structure for compliance. An iterative strategy lacks the comprehensive framework needed for regulatory projects.
