PMP Practice Question: Process — Hybrid, Hard
Your hybrid project is developing a medical device that requires FDA approval. The hardware development follows a stage-gate process with formal reviews, while the software uses an adaptive approach with continuous integration. The regulatory affairs team has raised concerns that the adaptive software approach lacks sufficient documentation and traceability for FDA submission. The software team argues that their automated testing and version control provide better traceability than traditional documentation. The regulatory deadline for submission is in four months, and both teams are at an impasse. Delays in resolving this could jeopardize the regulatory approval timeline. What should you prioritize?
