PMP Practice: Assess Project Needs, Complexity, and Magnitude

Tariq Mansour-Haddad is managing a digital transformation initiative at Miles Okafor-Lindgren Healthcare. The project involves migrating patient records to a cloud-based platform (highly regulated with fixed compliance requirements) and developing a new patient portal with evolving user experience features based on feedback from three pilot clinics. The organization has a traditional governance structure requiring stage-gate approvals, but leadership wants faster delivery of the portal features. The compliance migration must be completed in 8 months to meet regulatory deadlines, while the portal's feature set is expected to emerge through user testing. Jasmine is developing the integrated project management plan. Which approach would be most effective for planning this initiative?
