PMP Practice Question: Process — Hybrid, Hard
Your hybrid construction and technology project involves building a new data center facility (predictive) while simultaneously developing the cloud management platform (agile). The construction phase has clearly defined milestones tied to building permits and inspections. The software team works in 3-week sprints and has been delivering features ahead of schedule. A major stakeholder from the facilities group has started attending sprint reviews and is now requesting detailed Gantt charts for the software deliverables, claiming they need predictability to coordinate facility operations planning. The software team feels this contradicts agile principles and will slow them down with unnecessary documentation. The stakeholder insists they cannot plan operations without concrete dates. What should you do to resolve this conflict?
