Exam PMP topic 1 question 193 discussion

Actual exam question from PMI's PMP
Question #: 193
Topic #: 1
[All PMP Questions]

An organization is struggling to start an important project. The project manager has identified that the scope definition is the main item preventing the project from starting. Although most of the scope items are defined and agreed upon among the stakeholders, there are a few items that are hard to grasp and very complex to define at this stage.
What should the project manager do?

  • A. Propose that the well-defined scope items be delivered using a predictive approach and use an agile approach to deal with the complex items.
  • B. Maintain stakeholder momentum in working on the scope definition until a full detailed scope is achieved prior to starting the project.
  • C. Recommend splitting the project into two smaller projects in order to work exclusively in an agile environment without interference from a predictive approach.
  • D. Update the risk register and escalate the issue to the project management office (PMO), requesting more resources be added to help define the project scope.

Ans D: If we have to really make an argument about this - How many times do we really come across a scenario where a part of project is chosen to be in Predictive approach and a part on Agile. Its not going to happen in reality! And even if some requirements are known, who would go back to a Predictive approach. Nowhere it says that if requirements are clear, you cannot do Agile. The issue is part of the scope is not well defined, hard to grasp and complex. I would go with D where you update the Risk register, Escalate the issue to management and ask for resources to define the scope well. D is the right fit.

Clearly, the project that has both well-defined and unclear parts of the scope is a great candidate for a hybrid approach
