Which of the following project situations BEST justifies selecting a hybrid project management approach instead of using a purely predictive or purely adaptive (agile) life-cycle?
No part of the project can be defined upfront; requirements will emerge continuously through customer collaboration across the entire scope.
All project requirements are fully documented and unlikely to change, allowing the team to execute the entire project sequentially.
Several workstreams have well-defined, regulated requirements, while other workstreams involve exploratory research whose requirements are expected to evolve throughout delivery.
The project team has little experience with either predictive or adaptive methods and therefore wants to adopt the simplest possible lightweight process.
A hybrid approach blends predictive and adaptive techniques so that each workstream is managed with the level of structure or flexibility it needs. It is therefore most suitable when part of the project is stable and tightly defined (benefiting from predictive planning) while another part is exploratory or likely to change (benefiting from agile iterations). If all requirements are stable, a fully predictive method is sufficient; if every requirement is volatile, a fully agile method gives the greatest flexibility. Selecting hybrid simply because the team lacks experience or because governance forbids iteration would not deliver the advantages of combining the two approaches.
