According to the PMBOK Guide, a hybrid project approach is a combination of predictive, agile, and/or iterative methods that best suit the project context and objectives. A hybrid project approach requires the project manager to establish team behavior and develop an understanding of how to work together, as different team members may have different preferences, expectations, and experiences with different project methods. The project manager should facilitate collaboration, communication, and integration among team members, and align them with the project vision, goals, and values. The project manager should also provide feedback, coaching, and recognition to the team members, and foster a culture of trust, respect, and learning. The project manager should not advise the team to adjust their work habits and behaviors to allow for better conflict resolution, as this may imply that the project manager is imposing a single way of working on the team, rather than embracing diversity and flexibility. The project manager should not call a team meeting to discuss team members’ strengths and weaknesses, as this may create unnecessary tension and conflict among team members, and may not address the specific challenges and opportunities of a hybrid project approach. The project manager should not establish rules and regulations for team members with consequences if the goals are not reached, as this may create a rigid and punitive environment that discourages innovation, experimentation, and adaptation, which are essential for a hybrid project approach.
