  • D Traditional predictive approach
Reveal correct answer

Correct answer: C

Explanation

Robert is involved in a project to deliver a new type of product never built before by the company with a high level of uncertainty. When dealing with a high level of uncertainty, it is best to use an Agile project management approach which allows for flexibility, collaboration, and focus on continuous improvement, making it well-suited for navigating uncertain and complex environments.Because this project has a high level of uncertainty in the work to be carried out, the traditional predictive approach is not the best approach in this situation. Lean, Kanban, are Agile approaches to execute the project, but these all fall under the Agile approach umbrella, so the correct answer is an Agile approach.
