You are managing a construction project using a hybrid approach where procurement and permitting follow predictive methods, while interior design decisions use an adaptive approach with frequent client feedback loops. The permits have been delayed by two weeks, which will impact the construction schedule. The client is eager to continue making design decisions in their regular review sessions. Your project budget has limited contingency remaining. How should you proceed?

Question

Accepted Answer

The correct answer is C. Option C is correct because it demonstrates intelligent integration of predictive and adaptive streams by identifying dependencies and adjusting the adaptive work accordingly. This maximizes value delivery without creating rework, which is critical given limited contingency reserves. It maintains client engagement while managing risk. Option A is the primary distractor—while maintaining momentum seems beneficial, it risks creating waste if design decisions must be reversed based on permit constraints. Option B unnecessarily halts all progress when some design elements may be independent of permits. Option D introduces schedule risk and potentially increased costs without addressing the immediate question about design sessions.
