PMP Practice Question: Process — Hybrid, Medium
You are managing a digital transformation project using a hybrid approach. The enterprise architecture team works in a predictive manner with quarterly milestones, while multiple product teams use Scrum. During PI (Program Increment) planning, you discover that two product teams have dependencies on an architectural component that the enterprise team planned to deliver in Q3, but the product teams need it in Q2 to meet their commitments. The enterprise architect states that accelerating this component would require deferring other architectural work that supports different initiatives. How should you proceed?
