Actual exam question from PMI's PMP

[All PMP Questions]

A project manager has been working with the same group of stakeholders for 3 years using a predictive approach. The stakeholders have invested in many projects and are familiar with the approach. Recently, the organization has strongly encouraged all project managers to adopt an agile approach. This was announced 2 weeks before the project manager planned to kick off a large, complex project with the same group of stakeholders.

What should the project manager do?

  • A. Continue to use the predictive approach in the new project since it is the approach the stakeholders are familiar with using.
  • B. Share the pros and cons of adopting an agile approach for the new project only with the team and ask them to decide which approach to use.
  • C. Use the agile approach in the new project and schedule agile training for those stakeholders who are new to this approach.
  • D. Share and discuss the pros and cons of adopting agile with the stakeholders and choose the approach they prefer for the new project.

Selected Answer: C
This option strikes a balance between adopting the organizational mandate for agile and considering the familiarity of stakeholders with the predictive approach. By choosing the agile approach, the project manager aligns with the organization's direction while acknowledging the stakeholders' need for adaptation. Scheduling agile training for stakeholders who are new to this approach demonstrates a proactive effort to bridge the knowledge gap and facilitate a smoother transition.

Ans C The question states ”organization has strongly encouraged all project managers to adopt an agile approach”. Given this situation, the Project manager will be found at fault if they do not take measures to move to agile. The question does not state that the Orgn will give flexibility. So best choice is C.

Selected Answer: D
While stakeholders may be familiar with the predictive approach, it's worth considering the advantages of agile, especially for complex projects. However, it's crucial to engage stakeholders in this decision-making process rather than imposing a new approach on them abruptly. (encouraged)

Selected Answer: D
sorry i think D is correct, which involves discussing the pros and cons of Agile with stakeholders and making a collective decision, is seen as more balanced and respectful of the long-term relationship with these stakeholders. It provides a platform for education, buy-in, and potentially a smoother transition to Agile if that's the path chosen.
