You are managing a hybrid project where the development team works in two-week sprints while the infrastructure team follows a predictive approach. The development team has completed their sprint and is ready to deploy, but the infrastructure team needs two more weeks to complete their planned activities. Stakeholders are asking when the feature will be available. What should you do first?

Question

Accepted Answer

The correct answer is A. In a hybrid environment, dependencies between different work streams must be actively managed and clearly communicated. Updating the integrated schedule and transparently communicating the revised date ensures stakeholders have accurate expectations (ECO Process Task 1.2). Option B doesn't address the immediate stakeholder communication need and may create additional work-in-progress. Option C is premature and adversarial when this is a normal coordination issue. Option D provides vague information and doesn't manage expectations properly, which can damage trust.
