Question 59

A company must implement a new regulation. The government has specified the date when the regulation will be enforced but has only provided high-level information on the regulation's requirements. Therefore, changes in definitions are to be expected due to uncertainty.

Which life cycle should the project manager use for this project?

    Correct Answer: B

    An iterative execution strategy is the most suitable for this project. Given the high-level nature of the requirements and the expected changes due to uncertainty, an iterative approach allows the project to adjust and refine the requirements gradually as more information becomes available. This strategy is effective in dealing with evolving requirements while working towards a fixed implementation date.

Discussion
PMPStudentOption: D

I would go with D. Because there is a already a date specified to enforce the regulation and also because the regulation requirements are only known at a very high level.

RestlessMonkeyOption: B

I believe B (iterative) is the best approach here. You are given a release date to meet the regulation (single delivery), but the scope is unclear, so you keep correcting the scope and iterating on it until it is correct or meets the law.

GanzeeOption: C

C. An agile execution strategy

novantunoOption: D

Agile up to the date, then predictive

GabMontereyOption: D

D. Since the scenario tell that its government regulation it should be predictive but since stated in scenario that changes might happen, approach should be embedded with agile. So hybrid (Predictive + Agile).

Hanh_NgoOption: D

A Hybrid Approach is often applied as follows: Predictive for clear/known parts and Adaptive for unclear part (uncertainty). With the given information in the Questions, we just know that "there is uncertainty", "a Date/Deadline is fixed". There is NO INFORMATION OR HINT regarding "Known parts" ==> Is there any other reason for option D????? ==> Should C best matched with the given information?

Hanh_Ngo

I found the hint and convincible reason myself for option D. It said "Company must implement REGULATION". Regulation requirement is a must, we must adhere to it => a hint of FIXED SCOPE. And Fixed Date => We cannot fully use Agile where SCOPE is not fixed. ==> We just can use some components of Agile to deal with uncertainty. ==> HYBRID Approach is best option now. (Really tricky question)

alt_coffeyOption: D

Chose D. Partly because its government and they tend to be more waterfall type, but with the new unclear requirement, they can implement more agile up to a certain point. Second, since there is some guidance out there, prefer to be hybrid.

cesarrsnOption: C

the uncertanty brings the need of using agile aproach

crishnamohanOption: C

C an Agile makes sense here

martinx84Option: D

Regulation is a predictive life cycle, and uncertain is Agile life cycle

KingSchexOption: D

Answer is D. There is already a set and enforced date, but the requirements are subject to change.

BuviDOption: D

Hybrid

xcjxcjOption: D

Since B and C are similar, i would choose D as answer.

LhenicaOption: D

D is my answer

DavonosOption: C

I would go with C. As the date of enforcement is not directly related to any project dates. But changing requirements definitely calls for Agility

kbrtOption: C

Agile olmalı çünkü en üst düzeyde gereksinimler belirli ve çoğu da sonradan belirlenecek.

victory108Option: D

D. A hybrid execution strategy
