A project team is developing a customer portal using a hybrid approach. The infrastructure and security components are managed using predictive methods with detailed upfront planning, while the user interface features are developed iteratively using Scrum. During sprint planning, the development team realizes that a new security requirement from the infrastructure team will impact three user stories planned for the current sprint. The product owner wants to proceed with the original sprint plan. What should the project manager do first?

Question

Accepted Answer

The correct answer is A. In a hybrid environment, the project manager must facilitate integration between predictive and adaptive components. The correct answer involves bringing stakeholders together to understand dependencies and make an informed decision collaboratively, which aligns with servant leadership and integration management. Option B is the main distractor because while it respects the product owner's authority, it ignores critical dependencies and could lead to rework or security vulnerabilities. Simply proceeding without assessing impact violates the principle of managing interdependencies in hybrid projects. Options C and D are premature actions taken before understanding the actual impact.
