You are deciding between a predictive, plan-based life cycle and a more adaptive approach for an upcoming project. Under which of the following conditions would selecting the predictive, plan-based life cycle be the most appropriate choice?
Project requirements are well-defined and expected to remain stable.
The team is distributed across time zones and needs daily reprioritization of backlog items.
The work involves rapid innovation and short iterations with continual customer collaboration.
Requirements are expected to change frequently during the project.
A predictive, plan-based approach is most effective when project requirements are thoroughly defined at the start and are expected to remain stable. In this situation, extensive upfront planning adds value because scope, schedule, and cost can be baselined with confidence. When requirements are expected to change, the project is highly innovative, or frequent stakeholder feedback is essential, adaptive or iterative approaches are better suited.
