Explanation
hybrid project management approach is a combination of two or more project management methodologies, such as predictive and agile, that are tailored to suit the specific needs and characteristics of a project. A hybrid approach can offer the benefits of both flexibility and predictability, as well as the ability to adapt to changing requirements and deliver value incrementally. However, a hybrid approach also requires a careful analysis of the project context, the interdependencies of the processes, and the alignment of the stakeholders. Therefore, the new project manager should first understand the context and interdependencies of the quality management process from the team members and then define improvements that are suitable for the project. This will help the project manager to identify the best practices, tools, and techniques from different methodologies that can enhance the quality of the products and the efficiency of the process. The other options are not as effective or appropriate for addressing the process improvements. Discussing the process improvement with the PMO lead may not be sufficient or relevant, as the PMO may not have the authority or the expertise to update the project delivery framework or to support the hybrid approach. Defining a ground rule to comply with the quality standard and asking the team members to apply it may not be realistic or feasible, as the quality standard may not be compatible with the hybrid approach or the project requirements. Continuing with the process as is and waiting until the next phase to suggest any improvements may not be optimal or timely, as the process may be inefficient, ineffective, or outdated, and the improvements may not be implemented or accepted by the stakeholders.
