A company is planning to launch a new service to improve the customer checkout experience. What should the project manager do to meet the objective of reducing time to market to gain a competitive advantage in the industry?
A.
Engage the project stakeholders to assess the best practices to apply and plan the deliverables before implementation.
B.
Recommend an agile delivery approach and provide information to the stakeholders on agile values and principles.
C.
Educate the team about scrum and ensure that all members are aligned to the roles required.
D.
Consult executive leadership for the most appropriate method for delivery using existing organizational practices.
Option B: Agile methodologies are designed for speed and flexibility, making them ideal for reducing time to market. By recommending an agile approach and educating stakeholders on its values (like collaboration, iteration, and customer feedback), the project manager sets the stage for a faster and more responsive development process.
Option A: While engaging stakeholders is important, focusing solely on best practices and planning deliverables before implementation can lead to a more rigid and time-consuming approach. Agile emphasizes iterative development and adapting to changing requirements.
Option C: Educating the team about Scrum is a good step, but it's not enough. The project manager needs to ensure that all stakeholders understand the benefits of agile and are committed to its principles.
Option D: Consulting executive leadership is important, but relying solely on existing organizational practices may not be the best approach for a new service that requires speed and agility. The project manager should advocate for the most effective method, even if it means introducing new practices.
