Selected Answer: A
The key details in the scenario point to a dynamic, uncertain environment: No handover from the previous PM → incomplete or outdated context. Partially completed deliverables → flexibility is needed to assess and reprioritize work. Dispersed (non-colocated) team → requires strong communication and iterative coordination. New team members (former interns) → need close support, rapid feedback, and adaptability. All of these align well with adaptive project management, also known as Agile, which: Emphasizes iterative planning, Allows for flexibility in execution, Supports evolving requirements and progressive elaboration, Facilitates collaboration in distributed or cross-functional teams.

Selected Answer: A
Adaptive project management is the most suitable approach due to its flexibility and ability to respond to changes. It allows the project manager to: Quickly assess the current project situation and identify areas for improvement. Leverage existing plans as a starting point but be prepared to modify them as needed. Build trust and collaboration with the team through open communication and iterative planning. Adapt to changing circumstances and incorporate feedback from stakeholders.
