When assessing project needs in order to recommend an appropriate project management methodology, which group of factors should the project manager analyze most thoroughly?
Technical complexity and resource availability only
The personal preference of the project manager
Organizational culture, stakeholder interests, technical requirements, and risk profile
According to the PMBOK Guide (7th Edition) and the Tailoring principle, a project manager should evaluate the project's overall context-technical requirements, organizational culture, stakeholder interests, and the project's risk profile-before recommending or adapting a methodology. Focusing on only one or two dimensions, such as cost or schedule alone, is insufficient; ignoring culture or stakeholder expectations can lead to misalignment and resistance, while overlooking risk can leave the project exposed. Therefore, the holistic set of factors in option B is the most appropriate basis for selecting and tailoring a methodology.
