A project manager is leading a high-stakes product launch. During the planning phase, they facilitate a workshop to compare a traditional waterfall delivery against an iterative, phased approach. What is the primary purpose of evaluating these distinct delivery options?
To select the approach that best aligns with the project's business case and maximizes value delivery to stakeholders
To establish a definitive project scope that can be used to create a fixed-price contract with suppliers
To accommodate the development team's preferred methodology and optimize their workflow
To determine which approach presents the lowest initial project cost and most predictable budget
The primary purpose of evaluating different delivery options, such as waterfall versus iterative, is to select the method that most effectively delivers value to stakeholders in alignment with the project's business case. While factors like team preference, cost, and contractual arrangements are important considerations, they are secondary to the main goal of optimizing value delivery. An iterative approach, for example, might be chosen to deliver high-value features earlier, generating quicker ROI and allowing for feedback, thus maximizing the project's overall value proposition.
