Exam PMP topic 1 question 532 discussion

read it twice, the sponsor wants quick win so that the project continues. If we don't use agile itself the project will not have quick win leading to discontinuation. Also, Agile can lead to small MVP, helping other stakeholders develop trust in the transition to agile. So, AGILE IS BETTER.

C. A hybrid approach: This approach provides a balanced solution that can mitigate stakeholders' concerns by incorporating enough upfront planning to provide clarity and structure, while still leveraging agile practices to deliver quick, incremental wins. This can help in building confidence among skeptical stakeholders and securing the project's continuation through early demonstrations of value.

Hybrid will not achieve quick win.

C. A hybrid project as this will mitigate stakeholders' concerns

The first sentence of the question answer it for you. A company transitioning to agile... Plus there is this article from the PMI web site. https://www.pmi.org/learning/library/agile-versus-waterfall-approach-erp-project-6300

this is a tricky one. I think Sponsor needing a quick win because of stakeholders not supporting the project, trumps the hybrid approach. some stakeholders wanting the entire project defined is not a strong enough reason to compromise to hybrid.

Given that the company is transitioning to agile and the project sponsor needs a quick win, an agile approach is the best fit. Agile methodology allows for incremental delivery of functionality, which would demonstrate progress and results more quickly than traditional predictive methods. This could help gain stakeholder confidence and secure their buy-in.A hybrid approach could be a potential compromise, using elements of both agile and predictive methodologies. However, it may not deliver working functionality as quickly as a fully agile approach, which is what the project sponsor needs.

A hybrid approach combines elements of both agile and predictive (also known as traditional or waterfall) methodologies. This approach recognizes the need for flexibility, responsiveness, and early delivery while also accommodating the desire for defined planning and documentation.

I think C is better for Nego.

OK if you select C, let me ask you one question. How many version of your product do you provide? Only One. How you use one version of your product provide continuous value? the correct answer is A.

The most appropriate approach in this situation would be a hybrid project approach, as it combines aspects of both agile and predictive methodologies. This approach would allow the project team to address the concerns of stakeholders who prefer a more defined and planned-out project by providing a detailed plan for the project's initial phases. At the same time, it would also allow the project team to deliver some quick wins by using agile methodologies to produce working functionality earlier. The project manager would need to balance the different stakeholder needs and ensure that the project remains aligned with the project sponsor's goals.

Hybrid will be better

Hybrid is the best option.

I will stick with A. Just because the sponsor wants a quick win.

I go with A

I have a second thought. Shouldn't get the quick win by showing a working functionality through an incremental agile approach? I mean considering A as the correct answer? Any thoughts?

C the correct answer
