Exam PMP topic 1 question 293 discussion

If A is the answer, why is D not the answer? So, B should be the answer.

Adaptive is the correct answer. This is nowhere mentioned that the first part had a predefined scope. Since the first part was a long research, that has a high chance to be iterative and the 2nd part is evident enough to be increment. Both are the part of Adaptive but not Hybrid.

A is incorrect. The other part is incrementally delivered so Hybrid.

This is hybrid: 1. Long research until completed ==> business requirement / blue prints. once this finish (predictive) 2. delivery by incremental (agile). Those two combinations call hybrid.

This is hybrid: 1. Long research until completed ==> business requirement / blue prints. once this finish then 2. delivery by incremental (agile). Those two combinations call hybrid.

D is the answer long research = iterative so, iterative + incremental = agile

Obvious Hybrid. A=D

The project manager should choose B. Hybrid approach for this project. A hybrid approach combines elements of both predictive (or traditional) and agile methodologies. The research part of the project, which is well-defined and can be planned out in detail, can be managed using a predictive approach. Once the research is completed, the delivery of the complex equipment, which may require flexibility and adaptability due to its complexity, can be managed using an agile approach. This allows for incremental delivery and the ability to make changes as needed based on customer feedback and changing requirements.

Research work is usual planned upfront; the deliverables are known, the expectation of stakeholders is not changing... these are all characteristics of a predictive methodology. As for phase two, it is obvious that agile is ideal. So I think answer B is best

B should be the answer here

I see the only option Hybrid that fits. Option A and D are Adaptive/Agile which apparently works in same way however Option C is predictive. the question say it has to be in incremental in second phase. which rulesout option c and then if we take all as adaptive then it can be be either option A or Option D. the only option that is not ruled out is option B - Hybrid :D

Es hibrido, el enfoque adaptativo puede considerar (agile, incremental, iterativo) , la primera parte menciona que debe haber detalle aludiendo a algo predictivo. El enfoque adaptativo solo considera métodos agiles.

For a project where part of it relies on a long research process (which typically has a more defined and structured phase) and another part that must be incrementally delivered (which indicates a more flexible and iterative approach), the project manager should choose: B. Hybrid The hybrid approach combines elements of both traditional (predictive) and agile methodologies, which would be suitable for this project scenario.

A- Adaptive. "Adaptive project lifecycles are iterative and incremental in nature. The Agile project lifecycle approach is a special case of adaptive projects that do frequent delivery of deliverables." What is the adaptive approach in Agile? Agile and adaptive project management is a mindset and a methodology that embraces uncertainty, complexity, and change as opportunities for learning and improvement. It focuses on delivering value to customers and stakeholders through iterative and incremental processes, feedback loops, collaboration, and empowerment.

First phase requires research - Iterative Second phase - Agile When you combine iterative development with Agile principles, you essentially create an adaptive development approach.

B. Hybrid

This is probably a good explanation for option A I was able to find: Adaptability is mostly centred around considering all possible options, identifying opportunities and devising a plan, whereas agility is more about having the confidence to take swift and decisive action in the face of unexpected change.
