PrepPilot Quiz question PMP
A telecommunications company is upgrading its billing system using a hybrid approach. The infrastructure team follows predictive planning while the application team uses Scrum with 2-week sprints. At week 8, the database migration is delayed by 3 weeks due to legacy data format issues.
Scenario: The resequencing strategy works for sprints 4 and 5. However, the infrastructure delay extends to 5 weeks total, and the project now has only 1 week of float remaining. The sponsor asks for a recovery plan. What should the PM recommend?
A: Propose crashing the critical path activities by adding specialized resources and present the cost-benefit analysis to the sponsor
B: Recommend reducing the testing phase from three weeks to one week to recover two weeks of schedule variance in the plan
C: Suggest transitioning the infrastructure work to an agile approach so the team can deliver incremental database migration results
D: Propose running the final integration testing and user acceptance testing phases in parallel rather than sequentially
