PMP Practice Question: Business Environment — Hybrid, Medium
An insurance company is running a hybrid project to develop a new customer portal. The UX/UI development follows Scrum with two-week sprints, while the integration with legacy policy systems uses a predictive approach due to complex dependencies and limited access to mainframe specialists. After the first release to a pilot customer group, the product owner receives feedback that customers want real-time policy quotes—a feature not in the original scope. Meanwhile, the predictive integration team reports they are on track but cannot accommodate new data feeds without extending their timeline by three months. The project sponsor is eager to capture this market opportunity. How should the project manager proceed?
