A new project manager is leading a software development project that uses an adaptive approach such as Scrum. The sponsor asks how the team will determine whether a particular task has been successful at the end of an iteration. Which criterion should the project manager present as the primary indicator of success in adaptive project management?
Effectively adapting to evolving customer needs.
Strictly adhering to the original project timeline.
Minimizing any changes to the project scope.
Delivering all project deliverables as initially specified.
In adaptive project management, success is defined by the team's ability to respond to evolving customer requirements and to deliver small increments of working product that provide business value. Unlike predictive life cycles, where conformance to a fixed scope, schedule, and budget is paramount, adaptive approaches measure success primarily through customer collaboration, incremental value delivery, and continuous learning. Being able to pivot quickly while still maintaining quality signals that the task has achieved its intended outcome in an agile context.
