PMP Practice Question 426 - Business Environment
In a hybrid project, the customer decided on a major change for the project design. This change was approved and the impact on schedule and budget is known. The software team leader, who is supposed to develop the software, refuses to commit to delivery dates claiming that they work using an agile approach and cannot commit to a final delivery date. The hardware team depends on this software to develop their part of the product. What should the project manager do?
- ✓ Correct A.Add this risk to the risk register and monitor it according to the risk management plan
- B.Impose the delivery dates on the software team leader and notify the functional manager about the situation
- C.Ask the software team leader to use a predictive approach and commit to a delivery date
- D.Escalate this to higher management and ask for help to resolve the issue.
Correct answer: A
Explanation
When a software team leader in a hybrid project refuses to commit to delivery dates despite an approved change, the project manager should add the risk to the risk register and monitor it per the risk management plan. Formal risk tracking enables proactive management. Imposing dates (B) violates agile principles. Asking the team to switch to predictive (C) may not suit the work. Escalating to management (D) is premature without internal resolution.
