Your project team is following an adaptive (agile) life cycle that delivers potentially shippable product increments every two weeks. After each iteration, stakeholders inspect the increment and may reprioritize items in the backlog for the next cycle. When deciding whether the iteration itself was successful, which criterion provides the most appropriate measure of success for this adaptive context?
Maintaining the initial iteration scope without change
Delivering planned features exactly as originally specified
In adaptive project management, each short iteration is judged primarily by the incremental value it delivers to stakeholders. Producing functional product increments and incorporating feedback demonstrates responsiveness to change and continuous value delivery-core principles of agile methods. Merely delivering a predefined feature set, keeping to the original scope, or staying on budget may matter, but they are not the dominant success yardsticks in an adaptive environment where change and value maximization take precedence.
