PMP Practice Question: Process — Hybrid, Hard
You're leading a digital transformation project using a hybrid approach where compliance and regulatory work follows predictive planning, while customer-facing features are developed iteratively. During the fifth sprint review, the product owner and development team demonstrate working features, but the compliance officer identifies that three completed user stories don't meet regulatory requirements that were documented in the initial project charter. The team claims they followed the acceptance criteria in the user stories. The compliance deliverables are managed separately and weren't scheduled for integration testing until next month. What is the root cause you should address?
