PMP · Question 27 · Task 13: Determine appropriate project methodology/methods and practices
A project manager is assigned to lead a new software development project. The client has clearly defined requirements that are unlikely to change, but wants incremental delivery every two months to show progress to stakeholders and enable early feedback. Which development approach is MOST appropriate?
A project manager is assigned to lead a new software development project. The client has clearly defined requirements that are unlikely to change, but wants incremental delivery every two months to show progress to stakeholders and enable early feedback. Which development approach is MOST appropriate?
Answer options:
A.
Pure Waterfall - Requirements are stable and well-defined
B.
Pure Agile - Client wants incremental delivery and feedback
C.
Hybrid - Stable requirements with incremental delivery needs
D.
Iterative - Multiple cycles allow for continuous refinement
How to approach this question
Match methodology characteristics to project needs: stable requirements suggest predictive elements, while incremental delivery needs suggest iterative elements.
Full Answer
C.Hybrid - Stable requirements with incremental delivery needs✓ Correct
Hybrid methodologies combine the best of predictive and agile approaches, using predictive planning for stable requirements while providing iterative delivery for stakeholder engagement.
Common mistakes
Choosing pure methodologies without considering all project characteristics, or not recognizing when hybrid approaches are most appropriate.
