PMP Practice: Confirm Compliance Requirements

Lucía Delgado-Vega is managing a solar farm installation project for Rio Fontaine-Baptiste Collective across three western states. The project operates under a hybrid approach with predictive phases for regulatory approval and agile sprints for installation optimization. The organization must maintain continuous compliance with federal Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) emission reduction standards, which require documented proof that at least 85% of project activities meet sustainability criteria. Lucía is preparing the quarterly compliance report and needs to calculate the current compliance rate. The project has completed 240 work packages to date. Of these, 198 work packages have full sustainability documentation, 18 work packages are pending final environmental impact assessments that will likely be approved within two weeks, and 24 work packages involve legacy equipment that cannot meet current sustainability standards but are grandfathered under previous regulations. The compliance office has clarified that only work packages with completed documentation count toward the 85% threshold—pending assessments and grandfathered exceptions do not qualify as compliant for reporting purposes. What is the project's current compliance rate?
