PMP Practice Question: Process — Hybrid, Hard
You are managing a hybrid digital transformation project where the mobile application is developed using Kanban, the enterprise integration layer uses iterative development with monthly releases, and the legacy system upgrades follow a waterfall approach. Each component has separate teams with their own quality standards. During a recent production release, a critical defect was discovered that originated from miscommunication about data format expectations between the mobile team and integration team. The mobile team followed their Definition of Done which included unit testing, but the integration team assumed end-to-end testing would catch integration issues. This is the second integration defect in three months. What is the most effective long-term solution?
