What is a developmental approach? - Answer - The means used to create and evolve the product,
service, or result during the project life cycle.
Predictive/Waterfall Approach - Answer - A developmental approach used when project/product
requirements can be defined, collected, and analyzed at the start of the project. This approach allows
team to reduce uncertainty by planning upfront. Projects with this approach usually have templates
from previous, similar projects.
Hybrid Approach - Answer - A developmental approach that is a combination of adaptive and predictive
approaches, often used in an incremental or iterative approach.
Adaptive Approach - Answer - A development approach in which the requirements are subject to a high
level of uncertainty and volatility and are likely to change throughout the project. Adaptive approaches
use iterative and incremental approaches, and often evolve based on stakeholder feedback.
Iterative Approach - Answer - An adaptive developmental approach that tries different product ideas to
clarify scope, approach, and requirements based on customer feedback.
Incremental Approach - Answer - An adaptive developmental approach that progressively develops
features and functions of the same product based on customer feedback.
Rolling Wave Planning - Answer - An iterative planning technique in which the work to be accomplished
in the near term is planned in detail, while the work in the future is planned at a higher level.
What type of developmental approach should you use for a low (or high) requirements certainty? -
Answer - Low = Adaptive approach
High = Predictive approach
What type of developmental approach should you use for low (or high) scope stability? - Answer - Low
