PMP Practice Question 2001 - Process
An organization is about to start a multiphased project. Due to strict regulations, some of the phases must be completely planned in advance.

The sponsor wants to pursue the project objectives as planned, but also wants to accommodate new information and changes as the project progresses. Which project management approach should the project manager select for this project?
- A.Agile
- B.Incremental
- C.Phased
- ✓ Correct D.Hybrid
Correct answer: D
Explanation
When a multiphased project has some phases requiring strict advance planning due to regulations and others allowing flexibility, the project manager should select a hybrid approach. Hybrid combines predictive planning for regulated phases with agile flexibility for others. Agile only (A) does not meet regulatory planning requirements. Incremental (B) provides staged delivery but may lack adaptive flexibility. Phased (C) is structured but does not incorporate agile flexibility.
