    PMP · Question 64 · Task 13: Determine appropriate project methodology/methods and practices

    A project manager is assigned to lead a digital transformation initiative for a traditional manufacturing company. The project involves implementing cloud-based systems and changing established business processes. The organization has limited experience with agile methodologies but strong project management capabilities in traditional approaches. What should the project manager do FIRST when determining the project methodology?

    Answer options:

    A.

    Assess the project characteristics, organizational capabilities, and change requirements to determine the most appropriate methodology

    B.

    Implement a hybrid approach combining traditional and agile methodologies

    C.

    Use traditional project management since the organization has strong capabilities in this area

    D.

    Adopt agile methodologies since digital transformation projects typically require adaptive approaches

    How to approach this question

    Methodology selection requires comprehensive assessment of project characteristics, organizational capabilities, and change requirements rather than defaulting to familiar or typical approaches.

    Full Answer

    A.Assess the project characteristics, organizational capabilities, and change requirements to determine the most appropriate methodology✓ Correct
    Effective methodology selection requires assessing project characteristics (complexity, uncertainty, change frequency), organizational capabilities, and stakeholder needs to choose the most appropriate approach.

    Common mistakes

    Students often choose methodology based on project type (D) or organizational strengths (C), missing the need for comprehensive assessment of all relevant factors.
