A project manager is leading an agile project in an organization with no prior agile projects. To ensure the project meets compliance requirements, what should the project manager do?

The correct answer is to meet with the PMO/compliance entity to tailor processes. This is the most effective approach because it proactively addresses compliance by integrating agile practices with organizational requirements. Tailoring ensures that the agile project can deliver value while still adhering to necessary regulations and standards, fostering collaboration and understanding between the project team and compliance stakeholders. Using the risk register to document vulnerabilities is a good practice but doesn't proactively resolve the underlying process conflict. Following predictive processes would negate the benefits of agile and is not a suitable solution for an agile project. Coaching senior management and negotiating relief from compliance is unrealistic and irresponsible, as compliance requirements are often non-negotiable legal or regulatory mandates.
