AgilePM sits at the project level, framing delivery within business justification, governance, stakeholder engagement, risk, funding, and release management. This is a wider context than the mechanics of product development, which concentrates on evolving the product incrementally (requirements, design, build, test) using frameworks like Scrum. AgilePM aligns product delivery with organizational goals via a Business Case, clear roles, stage/phase control, and timeboxing, while enabling adaptive scope through prioritization. Product development is a vital subset, but project management additionally addresses cross-team dependencies, external stakeholders (e.g., operations, compliance), transition to live service, and benefits enablement. Options B, C, and D either overstate comparative complexity, misstate product development’s focus, or confuse product delivery with governance structures. The accurate statement is that project management operates in a broader organizational and governance context than product development—exactly what AgilePM was designed to harmonize with agile delivery methods.
