This question best fits the Business Environment domain because it deals with aligning project delivery with organizational governance and stakeholder expectations. PMI describes project governance as an oversight function aligned with the organization’s governance model across the project life cycle, and Disciplined Agile guidance notes that agile teams still require governance, but it should be adapted so it supports transparency and effective delivery rather than becoming a barrier.

Because this is the organization’s first agile project, the project manager should not simply impose the existing governance model unchanged, nor assume that a hybrid structure is automatically required. The best first action is to meet with stakeholders to discuss and review the governance structure so reporting, controls, and visibility can be adapted to agile ways of working while still satisfying organizational oversight needs. Option A is too rigid. Option C is off-target because the issue is not scope change; it is governance suitability. Option D may become the outcome of discussion, but PMP-style thinking favors stakeholder engagement and collaborative tailoring before deciding the governance model.
