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?
Emphasis on strict hierarchy and formal approval processes
Requirement for detailed upfront documentation to satisfy heavy regulatory oversight
High tolerance for change and collaborative decision-making among cross-functional teams
Fixed budget and schedule with little flexibility for scope changes
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.
