    PMP · Question 97 · Task 13: Determine appropriate project methodology/methods and practices

    A project manager is assigned to lead a new IoT (Internet of Things) device development project. The client has well-defined hardware specifications and regulatory requirements that are stable, but wants to see working prototypes every four weeks to provide feedback on user interface, connectivity features, and user experience. Which development approach is MOST appropriate?

    Answer options:

    A.

    Pure Waterfall - Hardware specifications and regulatory requirements are stable and well-defined

    B.

    Pure Agile - Client wants regular feedback and iterative delivery of prototypes

    C.

    Hybrid - Stable hardware and regulatory requirements with iterative UI/UX and connectivity development

    D.

    Iterative - Multiple prototype cycles allow for continuous refinement of all aspects

    How to approach this question

    Match methodology characteristics to project needs: stable hardware/regulatory requirements suggest predictive elements, while UI/UX/connectivity feedback needs suggest iterative elements.

    Full Answer

    C.Hybrid - Stable hardware and regulatory requirements with iterative UI/UX and connectivity development✓ Correct
    Hybrid methodologies are ideal for IoT projects where hardware specifications and regulatory requirements are stable (suitable for predictive planning) while UI/UX and connectivity features benefit from iterative development and regular feedback.

    Common mistakes

    Choosing pure methodologies without considering all project characteristics, or not recognizing when different project aspects (hardware vs. software) need different approaches.
