An organization wants to select a project management methodology that aligns with its cultural environment. Which of the following organizational characteristics MOST suggests that an Agile approach would be more effective than a traditional Waterfall approach?
High tolerance for change and collaborative decision-making among cross-functional teams
Emphasis on strict hierarchy and formal approval processes
Fixed budget and schedule with little flexibility for scope changes
Requirement for detailed upfront documentation to satisfy heavy regulatory oversight
Agile methods thrive in organizational cultures that value collaboration, self-organizing teams, and adaptability to change. A culture with high tolerance for change and collaborative decision-making supports iterative development, continuous feedback, and flexible scope-core principles of Agile. Hierarchical structures, strict regulatory documentation requirements, or fixed budgets with low flexibility typically favor more predictive, plan-driven methodologies such as Waterfall.
